High-Throughput 3D Screening: Accelerating Drug Discovery in the NAMs Era
With FDA actively mandating the shift toward NAMs and OoC models, the pressure to move new 3D biology from benchtop to high-throughput pipeline has never been greater.
Following our highly successful Vol. 3 session on NAMs and cancer research, OpenFlow returns to tackle the industry’s most significant bottleneck: Scale.
For Vol. 4, we are honored to host a masterclass led by a true titan of biofabrication, Prof. Shaochen Chen (Zable Endowed Chair at UC San Diego). Prof. Chen is a pioneer who bridges academic excellence with massive commercial success—from a $25M exit with his previous venture to a recent $26M ARPA-H award to bioprint functional human livers. He brings that same commercial drive to his new startup, TissueGenix, Inc.
On May 21st, we will demonstrate two complementary paths to finally cracking the High-Throughput Screening (HTS) code for 3D drug discovery — and building the scalable NAMs-ready pipeline that FDA is pushing the industry toward.
