Company Summary

VoxCell BioInnovation is creating fully vascularized, human-like cancer tissue models. When applied to preclinical drug testing, these tissue models offer significant benefits due to their 3D vascularized structure, mimicking an artificial biopsy sample. VoxCell aims to accelerate the development of life-saving anti-cancer drugs by providing tissue models that can identify inviable candidates earlier in the drug-development pipeline.
