E83: Altis Biosystems Innovates Predictive Drug Testing on the Human Intestine
Manage episode 382116396 series 3526088
Existing predictive models for drug behavior in the human intestine have been hit or miss, leading to unpredicted failure of drug development at the cost of billions. Altis Biosystems has developed a proprietary intestinal model with human stem cells that dramatically improves the predictive capability of drug effects and toxicity in the intestine and thus can substantially reduce the cost of drug development failure. CEO Ben Scruggs has 16 of the top 20 Big Pharma companies as customers as the Altis human intestinal model dominates pre-clinical drug testing for intestinal effects and toxicity. (recorded 9/8/23)
