Vanderbilt licensee CN Bio Innovations announces research collaboration with AstraZeneca

Organ-on-a-Chip specialist CN Bio Innovations Limited announces a research collaboration with global biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to validate a new in vitro research tool that enables the high throughput evaluation of multi-drug dosing regimens.

Under the collaboration, CN Bio will leverage intellectual property and technologies recently licensed by the company from Vanderbilt University, to mimic in vivo drug exposure in an in vitro system.  The in vitro results will be compared with previous in vivo experiments conducted by AstraZeneca, to establish whether, in future, the use of certain animal studies can be reduced or replaced by these new in vitro capabilities.
