The FDA Recruits British Organs-on-Chips to Speed Up Drug Development Featured

CN Bio Innovations, a spin-out from the University of Oxford, will be working with scientists from the FDA’s Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research with the aim of integrating organ-on-a-chip technology in the drug development process to improve preclinical testing while taking animals out of the equation.

FDA scientists will study drug metabolism, toxicity and drug-drug interactions in multi-organ systems to precisely determine how good these organs-on-chips are at predicting the success of a drug in clinical trials. The ultimate goal is to develop new industry standards and best practices to incorporate organs-on-chips in the FDA’s drug approval process.
