CN Bio Innovations was founded in 2009 to pioneer organ-on-chip platforms to accelerate the process of drug discovery. Chief Operating Officer, Dr Emma Sceats, who is interviewed for the documentary said “CN Bio’s use of human cells to build miniature organs provides a more realistic prediction of how patients will respond to drugs. Our Quantum-B® model of hepatitis B infected liver is a great example of how these cutting edge technologies can replace lengthy and expensive animal tests speeding up the work of academic researchers and pharmaceutical companies in the search for a cure.”
