AlveoliX

AlveoliX is a Swiss biotech company specialized in advanced human-relevant in vitro models, especially on organs on chip. Its AXBarrier-on-Chip technology enables the modelling of all tissue barriers, including associated mechanical forces, such as breathing or peristaltic motion. This technology supports a wide range of applications, including drug safety and efficacy testing, inhalation toxicology, and fundamental research. The AXBarrier on Chip system and its modular add ons can be seamlessly integrated into your laboratory workflow or accessed through AlveoliX’s CRO services, offering flexible solutions tailored to your research needs.

BiomimX

BiomimX is a pioneer in Organ-on-Chip technology, developing next-generation, clinically relevant in vitro models for pharmaceutical drug discovery and testing. BiomimX’s proprietary platform combine microfluidics, 3D cell culture, live human cells and controlled mechanical stimulation to create “Beating Organs-on-Chip” that mimic human physiology and pathology with high precision and predictability. These advanced platforms have been designed and validated to support drug discovery, safety and toxicology assessment, and efficacy testing across multiple therapeutic areas, including cardiac, musculoskeletal and fibrotic disorders, as well as gastrointestinal and lung barriers. As industry moves toward more human-relevant, non-animal models to improve predictivity and reduce development risk, BiomimX is positioned at the forefront of this transformation, bridging engineering, biology, and translational science to accelerate safer and more effective therapies to patients.

chiron

chiron's rapid advances in microfluidics technologies enables pharmaceutical and biotech innovators to derive actionable clinical insights before conducting preclinical testing or clinical trials. Our leading technologies, Re-plate™ and μMass™, enable applications for arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis) and oncology, respectively. With these platforms, chiron uses primary, human cells to deliver predictive, human-relevant data. Re-plate recreates human-like movement in-vitro to better recapitulate the healthy and diseased states of tissue within the synovial joint, as well as other organ systems in the body. μMass is the go-to solution for the robust creation and culturing of 3D solid-tumour aggregates, in a high-throughput platform, for use in oncology potency-assay applications. Both platforms are therapeutic-modality agnostic with additional applications in other disease areas.
