Hesperos, Inc. is accelerating drug discovery by providing safety and efficacy testing of chemicals and novel therapeutics for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries using its patented, Human-on-a-Chip platform. Bringing together biologists, surface chemists, and engineers, our team is producing some of the world's most advanced organs-on-a-chip platforms. From gene expression to electrophysiology, we recreate key components of organs in an interconnected, functional system. Chemically patterned microchips enable real-time, non-invasive monitoring of organ function where we use sophisticated measurement techniques to detect minute changes. This breakthrough technology enables unprecedented visibility into specific disease states and how the human body will respond to treatment - something that previously required costly animal testing and human trials to determine. The functional, interconnected, human in vitro platform, provides preclinical insight into the efficacy and toxicity of novel therapeutics. Ultimately, Hesperos' Human-on-a-Chip is reducing the need for animal testing in drug discovery while enabling research into rare diseases previously considered untreatable.
