Bio-Mimetics is focused on developing in vitro culture models for complex human responses (tissue engineering for applied physiology). The BIOMIMETIC platform will provide linked cultures on cardiac, urinary, liver, gastro, nervous system, respiratory, circular, immune, repro, integumentary (human on a tray). This Platform will correlate and ultimately predict pharmakokinetics and pharmakodynamics to allow for easier and optimized lead discovery, lead optimization and pre-clin studies.
