# Construct models that mimic living organisms to improve the accuracy of compound evaluation.

Using microfluidic devices, we construct models suitable for compound evaluation and heterogeneous cell binding models that mimic living organisms to evaluate compounds in a high-throughput manner. AI analysis and multivariate analysis of measured data (images) are used to predict the toxicity, efficacy, and mechanism of action of compounds. Biomarker assay is also performed in combination as needed.
