Human-Relevant Models for Predictive Oncology Drug Discovery

Human-relevant 3D tumour models designed to support therapeutic evaluation, translational research, and more informed preclinical decision-making.

Why Better Models Matter

~5%

of oncology drugs entering clinical development ultimately reach patients¹,²

¹Wong et al., 2019, ²Jardim et al., 2017 
Conventional preclinical models often fail to capture the complexity of human tumours, contributing to poor clinical translation and high attrition rates.

Biopsy Sourcing

With our extensive repository of tumor biopsies and sourcing capabilities, we can provide the specific cancer indications required for your study.

These biopsies are then utilized to 3D-print tumors tailored to your research needs.

If you have already sourced your material, cell line, or patient tissue, we can utilize these to 3D-print tumors.

3D Tumor Development

Harness the power of precision with our assay-ready, cancer models, part of our comprehensive preclinical oncology services.

We create patient-derived tumors that retain their native microenvironment, offering you highly relevant models for drug testing, optimization, and precision medicine.

Oncology Assays

Bridge resource gaps and accelerate your research with our expert scientific team.

We design and execute assays on your behalf, delivering the critical insights you need, faster and with precision.
