In-house drug screening platform capabilities, advancing your programme at speed


Using our OptiDIFF platform technology alongside CRISPR gene-editing capabilities, we can generate a wide range of disease models to support hit to lead compound profiling initiatives.

 

And, of course you get access to our proprietary OptiDIFF platform, which is well known for generating iPSC-derived models for even "difficult" target cell types such as hepatocytes, intestinal cells and organoids.
