Shaping the Future of Drug Discovery with Organ-on-Chip Technology
We are pioneering biomimetic organ-on-chip models to provide more effective and personalised methods for disease research and pharmaceutical intervention.
Help us refine our platform to ensure we deliver a relevant and meaningful alternative to current models used in drug discovery.
Partner with us to provide an alternative to animal testing and change research forever.
About Us
We are a research team in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG), at the University of Oxford.
Our goal is to address the current over-reliance on animal testing in all research, but in particular within pharmaceutical drug development.
In doing so, we want to revolutionise healthcare through faster, cheaper, and safer drug development and the realisation of personalised medicine.
To achieve this, we are developing the next generation of organ-on-chip platforms designed to better capture the complexities of human biology in basic and industrial research.
Our current prototype aims to bridge the gap between preclinical studies and clinical outcomes.
Innovation
As an early-stage innovation, we are actively engaging with pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and academic researchers to gather feedback, understand market needs, and identify opportunities for improvement.
Discovery
In support of these activities, we are participating in Innovate UK’s ICURe Programme, your insights will play a vital role in shaping a solution that advances scientific discovery, addresses ethical concerns and meets regulatory requirements.
Challenges
Drug discovery and pharmaceutical research face critical challenges.
Ethical Testing Challenges
Animal models often fail to predict human responses accurately.
Preclinical Research Barriers
A lack of predictivity in current preclinical models (including NAMs) result in significant failure.
Regulatory Compliance Gaps
Ethical and regulatory pressures demand new testing methods.
Technology Adoption Hurdles
Preclinical research takes significant time and resources which, continue to rise.
Human Health Relevance
The relevance of current models to human health is often uncertain.
Resource Intensiveness
Current NAMs fail to produce datasets that meet regulatory requirements.
NAM Limitations
Lack of practical expertise creates barriers to adopting advanced technologies.

FAQs
Does Divi Plus FAQPage Schema module create marked up FAQs?
What are the features of the FAQPage Schema module?
There are multiple features in the FAQPage Schema module, some of are as follows,
- Accordion & Grid FAQPage Schema Layout.
- Display FAQs in up to 4 columns.
- Showcase FAQs in the masonry style.
- And many more.
Do I need to be an advanced Divi user to use the FAQPage Schema module?
No, there’s no such requirement from a user to use the Divi Plus FAQPage Schema module. You can use it with fewer or no knowledge of the Divi Builder. For more information, you can check out its documentation page.
Learn how to use the module here → FAQPage Schema Module Documentation.
How much time it would take an FAQPage to appear in the Search?
It totally depends on the search engine and how frequently they crawl your website. But if you want to list your FAQPage in the minimum time possible, then you can manually add your page to the search engines’ database using their webmaster tools. It will add your FAQPage in a couple of minutes and you’d be able to see the FAQPage Schema applied to it.
