The Zoorganoids platform offers a wide range of advanced animal-derived organoids (miniaturised, laboratory-grown versions of animal organs). These models retain the cellular diversity and functionality of the original tissue, offering a cutting-edge opportunity for the ethical and efficient evaluation of therapeutic and nutritional compounds.

It supports both research and industry needs, with applications in animal health, food safety and translational science. Our technology enables researchers to develop safer and more effective products, while reducing the need to use live animals in experiments.

How do we do it?

We develop respiratory and intestinal organoids derived from livestock, companion animals, and wild species, including pigs, birds, cats, and other animal species. Our models originate from tissues from the nasal turbinates, lung, small intestine, and large intestine, and faithfully reproduce the cellular architecture and physiological complexity of the native organs.

These organoids are available in multiple formats, such as 3D structures, transwell cultures, and 2D monolayers, offering flexible and scalable platforms for a wide range of applications. Examples of applications include host-pathogen interaction studies, compound screening, and the study of drug mechanisms of action. By capturing the functional diversity of real tissues in vitro, our technology enables accurate and reproducible experimentation in a species-specific context.

Customised experiments

Screening of nutritional compounds: the safety and efficacy of nutritional compounds are evaluated using species-specific organoids. This enables the preclinical evaluation of feed additives for livestock and companion animals.

Drug screening: veterinary drugs (such as antibiotics, antivirals, etc.) are tested on organoids derived from animal species of interest, allowing for an accurate and reproducible efficacy and toxicity profile.

Customised organoid generation

We offer the generation of customised organoids based on the animal species, breed or even individual of your choice, provided that the appropriate tissue samples are available.
