We build custom hardware and algorithms to facilitate bioelectricity, regenerative medicine, and developmental biology experiments. Our designs focus on secure biological sample containment while precisely reading and writing bioelectrical signals.
We use our own equipment in-house to conduct scientific experiments that reproduce previous findings in the planarian flatworm model organism. We also offer specialized devices that monitor and track flatworm movement and behavior.
Our goal is to provide scientists with the tools to program bioelectricity. We believe the ability to coordinate large groups of cells will allow researchers to solve problems in tissue regeneration and age-related functional decline.
Current molecular and genetic approaches focus on specific interaction mechanisms or pathways. This is effective for treating many disease conditions. However, it's not ideal for approaching problems in tissue and organ engineering or limb regeneration.
For example, young children can regenerate lost fingertips, but lose this ability as they age despite having the same DNA. Experiments in wound healing and regenerative model organisms have shown the predominant role bioelectrical communication plays in coordinating cells to solve large-scale tissue generation problems. Growing evidence supports the theory that even aging is a loss of morphostatic information mediated by bioelectric signals.
