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.
