A new approach to primary cell screening

Our story begins with a very concrete research need, i.e. screen GPCR targeting drugs in primary human cells.

Values

World changing mindset

We believe we can change the world
We are driven by our passion for what we do. We care about the people we work with. We want to learn from each other, share our expertise, and help each other succeed. Our work isn’t always easy or straightforward, so we understand the importance of balancing fun with focus.
