MISSION

Our Strategic Goal

Development of customized biotech research platforms that will impact both, basic and translational research and industrial applications with the aim to increase research output and visibility of academic and research institutions in Western Balkans.

"We work towards development and optimization of a research platform for the assessment and development of drugs, that involves chronic disease and cancer modeling for more accurate mimicking in vivo diseases."

OBJECTIVES

We are dedicated to the following objectives

3D Cellular Model

Engineer and optimize a complex 3D cellular model for in vitro studies, ensuring an optimal models for disease mimicry.

Screening Platform

Develop a reliable drug screening platform for novel chemical entities for research institutions and industry.


Training

Establish a training program of a good laboratory practice (GLP) in cell culture engineering.

Humane Care

Reduce the use of animals in drug screening process, particularly in developing countries having unregulated legislative in these areas.


SUPPORT

We support

We support The Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI), an international effort to generate and characterize the next-generation of cancer cell models that better represent the hallmarks and diversity of human cancers, as a resource for the scientific community.

Supported by

Platform

Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures provide better physiological relevance than two-dimensional models, and more accurately represent the tissue microenvironments, cellular interactions and in turn molecular and biological processes that occur in vivo. As a result more predictive data concerning drug development are generated, using various imaging systems.

We strive to achieve 100% customer satisfaction for both types of customers: hiring companies and job seekers. Types of customers: with huge potential

Our goal is to help your company achieve its full potential and establish long term stability for the stakeholders
