Rodney Callaghan's Company Details
To create a healthier future for patients with life-threatening diseases, we are using our pioneering human extracellular matrix (ECM)-based discovery platform to develop a portfolio of programmes in fibrosis and solid tumours.Using human in vitro models that better recreate the natural cell microenvironment is transforming our ability to identify new targets, determine mechanisms of action, and increase the success rate of therapeutic candidates.We have pioneered the world's first human extracellular matrix-based discovery platform to aid in the discovery of targets and biomarkers as well as drug profiling. Using our technology, we have a unique ability to study tissue- and disease-specific human ECM scaffolds, and to model diseases to study mechanisms of action. Our improved understanding of the role of the ECM in human enables the identification of more relevant drug targets and biomarkers. For drug discovery, we incorporate human ECM into our in vitro models, thereby recreating the natural cell microenvironment so that drug candidates can be tested in the context they will ultimately be used in. With the potential to predict the efficacy of candidates more accurately at an earlier stage, the platform can reduce late-stage clinical failures and accelerate discovery.
