Novoheart’s MyHeart™ hvCoC is the only commercially available technology to date that enables the clinically informative assessment of human cardiac pump performance, which is not possible with other human engineered heart tissues on the market. Combined with complementary custom-designed hardware and software, the best-in-class “human heart-in-a-jar” allows drug screening and disease modeling with unprecedented biofidelity. With this advanced model, drug discoverers can provide insight into how new drugs affect cardiac pressure, stroke area, stroke work, and ejection fraction.
Curi Bio’s cloud-enabled Pulse platform combines state-of-the-art machine learning, high-throughput data processing, and intuitive visualization tools to streamline the functional analyses of complex biological datasets from human-relevant 3D and 2D models with a few simple mouse clicks. Curi Bio’s flagship Mantarray™ and Nautilai™ platforms currently utilize Pulse to provide scientists a seamless end-to-end workflow culminating in human relevant data. The integration of these industry-leading technologies expands the predictive power of Novoheart's hvCoC platform using turnkey software analytics. Cardiac scientists can now accelerate preclinical validation and reduce development costs with functional measurements of contractility.
“We are excited to collaborate with Curi Bio in integrating hvCoC data into Pulse,” said Dr. Kevin Costa, Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Novoheart. “Our hvCoC–backed by years of development– represents the most complex in vitro model of human heart function available on the market. With this integration, we can offer our customers Curi Bio’s user friendly and powerful analytics pipeline. With these tools working together, researchers have the ability to rapidly extract deep analytics from their data, enhancing their ability to develop safer and more effective cardiac therapies.”
“This integration underscores Curi Bio’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative solutions for human-relevant drug discovery,” said Dr. Nicholas A. Geisse, CEO at Curi Bio. “This partnership with Novoheart exemplifies how complementary collaborations can bring the next generation of human-specific cardiac technologies to the forefront of drug discovery, ultimately benefiting patients worldwide.”
