Platform

 

Our platform is a way to study fat cells outside a human or animal body, or in vitro. Our stem-cell platform, M3, is unique in its accuracy in replicating human fat cells. Traditional platforms cannot even replicate a fat cell of a fetus. Our platform can replicate from fetus to adult, and even an obese adult fat cell. 

​


Team

 

Every person on our team has at least one loved one who has been diagnosed with diabetes. We care about finding a cure for this disease because we know our loved-ones will benefit, just like you and yours.
