Emulate, Inc. today announced that it recently formed a research collaboration with Janssen Biotech, Inc., a Janssen Pharmaceutical Company of Johnson & Johnson (“Janssen”), to deploy Emulate’s Organs-on-Chips platform across certain Janssen programs to better predict the potential human response of drug candidates and improve the drug development process.
The collaboration, which was facilitated by the Johnson & Johnson Innovation Center in Boston, utilizes Emulate’s Organs-on-Chips to advance the clinical goals for three Janssen R&D programs at the stages of drug candidate design and selection. Emulate’s technology will also support Janssen’s effort to enhance drug discovery and development with its 3Rs program: reduction, refinement and replacement of animal testing.
