Making Human Organs Talk To Decode Drugs
Invexo turns discarded human organs into living testbeds for drug development
Our Solution
Invexo keeps discarded human organs outside the body under controlled, standardised conditions turning them into a programmable testbed for drug and device developers. In a single study, customers get pharmacokinetic parameters, metabolite profiles, toxicity biomarkers and imaging readouts generated on real human tissue, not animal proxies.
De-risk go/no-go decisions
Identify organ-specific liabilities in human tissue before clinical investment, increasing confidence & clinical success rates at a fraction of the cost of a failed trial.
Faster route to market
Compress preclinical cycles by 6 months to 2 years*, front-load human-relevant evidence and reduce Phase I bottlenecks by 20-30%*. *data still to be proven estimated numbers
Ethical readouts in disease-relevant models
Replace inaccurate animal studies with safety and efficacy readouts in healthy and diseased human organ states, the precise biological context that matters.
Stronger regulatory packages
Regulatory-grade human data (pre-IND, pre-submission) aligned with the emerging FDA/EMA Novel Approach Methodology framework, generated under GLP-aligned protocols.
A second value layer builds underneath the science: every study contributes to a structured, labelled human organ dataset, the kind of human-derived training data AI drug discovery companies increasingly need and cannot source at scale.
Our direct customers would be:
Pharma & Biotech MLEs
Medtech SMEs and MLEs
Contract Research Organisations (CROs)
AI drug discovery companies
Multi-Modal Data Outputs
