Human Tissue changes everything
Introducing the first platform designed to precisely replicate the structure and function of human tissue
Medicine at the intersection of engineering and biology
FluidForm is transforming medicine by creating human tissue for drug discovery, surgical repair, and organ transplant. By integrating 3D printing, computational and synthetic biology, AI and Machine Learning, and advanced materials science, we are developing human tissue applications that deliver on the promise of Medicine 4.0.
By recreating the complex structure and function of human tissue, FluidForm will revolutionize how drugs are discovered and developed, surgery is performed, and diseased organs are replaced.
FluidForm Technology
To address the extraordinary need for human tissue in medicine, we have developed a suite of technologies to precisely recreate the structure and function required to use in medical applications. We believe this will fundamentally transform what is possible for patients.
The need for a breakthrough in Medicine
Drug Discovery
85% of drugs that go into the clinic fail to reach patients, driving significant cost and time. Despite massive innovation in microfluidics, organ-on-a-chip, and other in-vitro testing models, we still have limited signal on the best drugs to move into the clinic.
Surgical Repair
Today, we repair the body with devices made from metal, plastic, and animal tissue. This approach has revolutionized medicine, yet devices frequently wear out, cause negative reactions, and do not support the re-growth of natural tissue.
Organ Transplant
Millions of patients each year have damaged or diseased organs that would benefit from a transplant. However, the availability of donor organs is fundamentally limited, addressing less than 1% of the total need.
“We set out to fundamentally change how tissues can be engineered, leveraging the latest advances in synthetic biology, 3D printing, advanced materials, AI and Machine Learning to build tissue inspired by the way the body does.”
