Company Summary
A major reason for drug development failures is that human specific toxicity is missed in traditionally used pre-clinical cell lines (in vitro testing) and animal models (in vivo testing). Hera has the unique ability to create more predictive animal and cellular models, and is pursuing a two pronged, in vivo and in vitro, strategy.
