💊 '90% of novel drugs that work in animal models fail in human trials' 🧫 Cytochroma manufactures human stem cell derived genetically diverse models for preclinical testing. These are paving the way for safer, smarter and faster drug discovery and development. 🐀 ‘It's not a question of whether animal testing will be phased out of most research but when.’ #Reduceanimaltesting #Endofthelabrat #stemcells

About us
Cytochroma predict how drugs will react in a global population in health or disease. Our unique, ethnically diverse library of iPSC and automated cell culture generates robust, reliable, mature hepatocytes for toxicity testing. We are supporting life science companies, de-risking safe compounds prior to clinical testing, making new drug development faster, safer and more efficient.

"About 75% of the drugs that extend lifespan in mice work only on males". This fact underscores the necessity for a shift in research methodologies. Cytochroma offers stem cell models from both males and females with diverse genetic backgrounds. We aid the pharmaceutical industry in accelerating the discovery of new drugs, eliminating the need for laboratory animals. #equalityanddiversity #drugdevelopment #cytochroma #guardian

#June10th is Equal research day. Why? 🤷♀️ Women weren’t required in US clinical research until June 10, 1993 and to this day, we're still decades behind. #Cytochroma is increasing the representation of women in drug development, from discovery through to development. #respresentationmatters #womenshealthmatters #WHAM SHOCKING FACTS: 👱♀️ Across 770 disease, from diabetes to cancer, women are diagnosed on average 4 years later than men. (Westergaard 2019) 👩⚕️ Women spend 25% more of their lives in debilitating health than men. (Whiting 2024) 👩💻 Women are 32% more likely to die if their surgeon is a man. (Wallis 2022) Only 1% of global healthcare research and innovation is invested in female specific conditions beyond cancer. (Mckinsey & Company 2022) 👩🔬 Women are 2X as likely to suffer adverse side effects from medication. (Zucker 2020) 👩🏫 Less than 50% of medical schools have women’s health curricula. (Clayton 2020)
