Support for Every Stage of Drug Discovery
Target Identification & Validation
Test your hypothesis in the human cell types where the disease happens.
Assay Development & Screening
Build robust, scalable assays on reproducible, assay-ready human cells.
Lead Optimization & MOA
Rank compounds on native human biology, not overexpressed single targets.
Preclinical Safety & Tox
Flag neuronal liabilities early with functional readouts in human neurons.
Translational Research
Enable precision medicine: see how drug response varies across patients before you commit to a trial.
Disease Areas
Explore Our iPSC Services
From custom differentiation to disease modeling and functional assays, our platform supports every stage of your research pipeline.
Get the cells you need
iPSC differentiation, new protocol development, and banking services for your iPSC lines.
Custom iPSC Differentiation
Assay-ready human cell types from your iPSC line or ours, with full QC. No line yet? We’ll source one or coordinate gene editing.
Novel Cell Type Development
Need a cell type that isn't readily available? Our proprietary Human Gene Correlation Matrix finds the transcription factors then we build, validate and deliver it as assay-ready, cryopreserved cells.
iPSC Expansion, Characterization & Banking
Expand, characterize, and bank any iPSC line under one documented protocol. Every line is karyotyped and ships with expansion, pluripotency, and trilineage reports.
Get data from human cells
Disease models and functional assays, with expert support from study design to analysis.
Disease Modeling
Patient-derived iPSC disease models for neurodegeneration and beyond. We source the right patient lines for your program and use our Quick Tissue™ platform to differentiate them reproducibly across donor backgrounds.
Alzheimer’s Disease Panel
Compare drug response line by line covering the full APOE spectrum, to identify responder signatures and form biomarker hypotheses before committing to a trial.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Patient-derived iPSC motor neurons that spontaneously develop TDP-43 mislocalization, across sporadic ALS and C9orf72, and TARDBP lines, for mechanism, target, and compound studies.
Calcium Flux Assays
Real-time calcium signaling in human iPSC-derived neurons that express native ion channels and receptors, not overexpressed single targets. We generate the cells, run the assay on FDSS, and deliver analysis-ready data.
Multielectrode Array (MEA)
Network-level electrophysiology in human iPSC-derived neurons, glia, and disease models, on high-throughput or ultra-high-resolution systems.
Not sure which service fits your project?
Consultations are free. Tell us about your cell type, disease, and readout, and we’ll recommend a study design.
Custom Assay Services
Our custom assay services allow you to outsource key phenotypic and functional assays using our iPSC-derived cells. Whether you’re validating a disease model, screening compounds, or assessing efficacy and safety, our experienced team can run the assays you need — saving you time, resources, and internal bandwidth.
High-Content Imaging & Phenotypic Assays
Image-based analysis of cell identity, morphology, and disease-relevant phenotypes to confirm your model, quantify pathology, and measure how it changes with treatment.
Molecular & Biomarker Assays
Quantitative gene, protein, and secreted-factor analysis to characterize disease biology, track biomarkers, and measure drug response.
Electrophysiology & Calcium Imaging
Real-time functional readouts of cellular activity and signaling to see how your cells respond to compounds, stimuli, or disease-related changes.
Viability, Safety & Metabolic Assays
Assess cell health, metabolic function, and toxicity early, so you can flag safety liabilities in human-relevant models before they become costly.
Don't see your endpoint? We also develop custom marker panels and functional endpoints around your target, and can run assays on your own iPSC lines or compounds. Every project is tailored to your research goals, delivering high-quality, reproducible data in physiologically relevant human cell models. Request a free consultation to discuss your assay needs.
