Company mission

To enable in vivo testing at the in vitro scale.

Our take

Animal testing has been a taboo topic for decades, but until this point has been the only way to reliably simulate humans. To mend this, Nagi Bioscience is developing alternative technology and data solutions to be able to pioneer "in vivo testing at the in vitro scale", which means doing live tests at the scale of lab dish or test tube testing.

To do so, the company has developed its own equipment, SydLab™ One, that allows ethical testing with small organisms at a scalable level to replace animal tests. It also offers software suites to analyse data from its machines, as well as data testing solutions and support and toxicology testing kits.

Boasting a team of scientists with extensive experience and knowledge in the research space, it is no surprise that Nagi Bioscience has produced such an exciting method. Having recently closed a large funding round, the company has set its sites to expand its impact in the drug discovery and toxicology testing market.
