A physiologically relevant human in vitro experimental system.
Cryopreserved hepatocytes are the ideal tool for studying drug metabolism, toxicity, gene therapy, and liver diseases. Discovery Life Sciences has developed and refined the cryopreservation technology and collection processes that now yield one of the industry’s largest inventories of high-performing hepatocytes.
“For the past four decades, our research has helped optimize the isolation and cryopreservation of human and animal hepatocytes and established mechanism-based experimental approaches to aid the assessment of human-specific drug efficacy and DILI potential. I am extremely proud of my team and our proprietary technology which has been successfully applied by the pharmaceutical industry, including gene therapy companies.”
– Dr. Albert Li (Retired, Ex-CSO at Discovery Life Sciences, Council Member of International Society for the Study of Xenobiotics)
