The Problem

In drug discovery, over 90% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials.
Traditional models - 2D cell cultures and animal testing - poorly predict human biology, driving huge costs and delays for biotech and pharma

Our Solution

Syntopia brings together physiologically relevant 3D biology and a breakthrough microfluidic platform to generate better preclinical data, cheaper and faster

Applications & Modular Design

Our solution is modular - we can adapt the device design and assay configuration to meet specific application needs.
Current focus on three applications:

cells
1.
3D oncology & immuno-oncology
  • Patient-derived tumoroids / organoids with immune cell co-culture

  • Enables functional studies: migration, cytotoxicity, CAR-T/CAR-NK screening

2.
Hepatotoxicity (DILI)
  • Primary Human Hepatocyte model, viable > 21 days

  • Enables robust datasets for in silico toxicity prediction

3.
Neurotoxicity & Neuroinflammation
  • Brain microenvironment organoids integrating microglia

  • Supports personalized medicine and early-stage neurotoxicology
