Exciting news! Research teams from Hesperos and University of Central Florida have published a study in the Alzheimer's Association®'s journal: Alzheimer's & Dementia. The study uses a functional, Human-on-a-Chip® model to explore the role of senescence in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) progression. This marks a significant step forward by providing researchers with a platform poised to accelerate development of therapeutics for AD and other neurological disorders. We extend a big thank you to National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and National Institute on Aging (NIA) for their ongoing support in this critical area.

About us
Hesperos, Inc. is accelerating drug discovery by providing safety and efficacy testing of chemicals and novel therapeutics for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries using its patented, Human-on-a-Chip platform. Bringing together biologists, surface chemists, and engineers, our team is producing some of the world's most advanced organs-on-a-chip platforms. From gene expression to electrophysiology, we recreate key components of organs in an interconnected, functional system. Chemically patterned microchips enable real-time, non-invasive monitoring of organ function where we use sophisticated measurement techniques to detect minute changes. This breakthrough technology enables unprecedented visibility into specific disease states and how the human body will respond to treatment - something that previously required costly animal testing and human trials to determine. The functional, interconnected, human in vitro platform, provides preclinical insight into the efficacy and toxicity of novel therapeutics. Ultimately, Hesperos’ Human-on-a-Chip is reducing the need for animal testing in drug discovery while enabling research into rare diseases previously considered untreatable.

A few weeks ago, our team had an amazing time at the MPS World Summit in Seattle! We are proud to have delivered 7 presentations and 10 posters. It was really exciting to see the progress and impact that microphysiological systems are having on therapeutic development overall. Thank you to the organizers for putting on such a great event. We’re already looking forward to next year in Brussels! #MPS2024 #HumanOnAChip #microphysiologicalsystems

What is Human-on-a-Chip® technology? We sat down with Hesperos Inc. Co-Founder – and Chief Scientist – James J. Hickman, Ph.D. for a deep dive into this area of cutting-edge science and medicine. Hesperos, founded in the US in 2015, enables real-time, non-invasive monitoring of ‘organ’ activity to detect changes as new drugs are administered and measured. With the ambition of accelerating drug development for human diseases without testing on animals, Hesperos – one of our portfolio companies – has made a breakthrough with its groundbreaking technology.

Hesperos Research Associate Sam Richard is presenting a poster today at the Society of Toxicology's 63rd Annual Meeting and ToxExpo! Sam's poster, titled "An Adaptable Pumpless Three-organ Microphysiological Barrier Tissue Device for the Evaluation of Drug Efficacy and Safety," presents our 3-organ barrier tissue model that incorporates the BBB, GI, and CNS. If you're attending SOT, come learn how this powerful model can be used to measure drug toxicity and efficacy! The Society of Toxicology's Annual Meeting brings together more than five thousand professionals within the field. This event showcases new developments in toxicology and fosters a platform for collaboration.
