Activity highlights
Secured selection as the only Chinese company in the US FDA’s iSTAND program to validate alternative methods to animal testing.

Xellar Biosystems is a biotechnology company that integrates AI-driven data analytics with a proprietary organ-on-chip platform to advance drug discovery and preclinical research. Their technology platform, which incorporates multicellular 3D disease models, simulates human physiological environments by replicating vascularization, biomechanical forces, and paracrine signaling. By utilizing pharmaceutical-scale engineering and high-content imaging, the system generates complex phenotypic and multi-omics data, which is subsequently analyzed by machine learning pipelines to identify promising drug candidates and evaluate therapeutic responses with higher predictive accuracy than traditional 2D culture or animal models.

This approach addresses critical limitations in the drug development process, such as high failure rates, significant costs, and long development timelines. By providing physiologically relevant human models that are compatible with high-throughput screening and laboratory automation, Xellar Biosystems assists pharmaceutical researchers in making more informed decisions earlier in the discovery pipeline. Their technology is designed to reduce the reliance on animal testing, facilitate superior risk assessment, and accelerate the transition of drug candidates into clinical evaluation through robust mechanistic insights.
