Human biology, at machine scale

Building foundational robotics to enable human‑centered drug development.

We build human tissue in volume and put candidate drugs through robotic testing on it, so the evidence behind every therapy comes from human biology, measured directly.

01 / The thesis
95%

of drugs that pass animal testing still fail in human trials. We take the guesswork out by generating human evidence up front — not mouse data after the fact.

02 / The platform

One closed loop: grow, test, learn.

Three capabilities that feed each other in one continuous loop.

01

Human tissue, grown to spec

Reproducible tissue models across the major organ systems, in healthy and diseased states, behaving closely enough to real biology to trust the readout.

02

Robotics that test in parallel

Each rig runs thousands of tissues at once with tightly controlled timing, packing the output of an animal facility onto a single bench.

03

Models that pick the next experiment

Active-learning models read every result and choose what to run next, so each round of testing sharpens the predictions faster than a manual team could.

03 / Organ models

Human responses a mouse can't show you.

Our tissue models reproduce how real human organs behave and respond, so the effect of a therapy shows up in human biology long before a trial does.

Robotic automation
04 / Robotic automation

Thousands of experiments, run in lockstep.

Modalities, combinations, and multi-phase regimens run across thousands of tissues at once, each one timed and handled identically — a level of consistency manual work can't reach.

05 / Predictive AI

AI grounded in real human measurements.

3D imaging, single-cell sequencing, and proteomics feed models that map human complexity, while the active-learning loop keeps producing the exact data those models need.
