Transforming Cardiac Drug discovery
Our technology can generate a human heart chamber model within a single well
We guide induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to self-organize into a beating, hollow, spherical chamber, called a Cardioid, mimicking human heart development and physiology.
A model that is close to the
human heart
Our self-organizing Cardioids replicate the native architecture of key cardiac cell types while maintaining a consistent, physiologically relevant beating pattern, providing a powerful model for cardiac diseases.
A precise human heart model with controlled cellular composition
Our Cardioids enable self-organized heart chamber formation with precise control over cellular composition, making them an ideal platform for accurate disease modeling and targeted drug discovery.
We make tailored, fit-for-purpose, models for heart diseases
Our proprietary Cardioid technology allows us to develop customized models for heart diseases such as myocardial fibrosis, drug-induced and genetic cardiomyopathies empowering advanced, disease-relevant drug testing and discovery.
Our Cardioid assays drive
drug discovery
Our comprehensive assay suite leverages the unique structure and function of our cardiac chamber models, enabling precise control and characterization of heart disease phenotypes at structural, functional, and molecular levels.

It delivers deep, clinically relevant insights that go beyond the capabilities of conventional models accelerating and de-risking cardiac drug discovery.
Fast, reproducible, high-throughput
By integrating our highly predictive cardiac model with specialized assays at a fully automated, industry-standard 384-well format, we've built a robust, scalable, and cost-effective TechBio platform designed to transform cardiac drug discovery.
Key features of our technology
• Cardioid Failure rate: < 3%
• Structural and functional variability: 6 - 14%
• Automated data analysis pipeline
• Scalable: Up to 50,000 Cardioids per month
Next generation
AI-driven data analytics
Our proprietary human organoid biology, advanced automation, and AI-powered analytics together form the foundation of a next-generation platform for transformative cardiac drug discovery.
