Mission: Biology as Proof
Aur•em /ˈɔːrəm/ - Aurem is driving a new paradigm in biological discovery: microtissue discovery. Small, reproducible microtissues become orchestrators and reporters of human physiology, and cellular decisions come into full view.
Aurem microtissues represent:
- Scalable access to cellular micropopulations
- A window into cellular mechanisms
- A rigorous resource for therapeutic discovery
- A living proof of biological reproducibility
Aurem combines biological wisdom with modern automation-based discovery and analysis. We draw inspiration from nature's most remarkable regenerator, and the rigor of mathematical proof. Our technology aligns with NIH's prioritization of non-animal in vitro testing as announced on April 29, 2025.
Inspiration for Aurem
Aurelia: Nature's Expert at Growth and Regeneration
The moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita has an extraordinary ability to convert its cells backwards through development. When faced with adversity, these animals unlock a dormant genetic program to reverse their biological clock, returning adult cells to their juvenile state to begin anew.
This natural process mirrors our approach: unlocking the regenerative potential that lies dormant within healthy human cells. In a similar vein, structured fragments of diseased tissue may reveal new opportunities for therapy.
Aurora: Revealing Hidden Patterns
Like the aurora borealis that makes invisible patterns seen, our work illuminates the hidden mechanisms of cellular behavior. Ultrahigh density, transparent microtissue culture provides ramps for ease of access, reproducibility, and individualized sample extraction.
The aurora represents instantaneous insight, that moment when complex patterns suddenly become visible to everyone. Our microtissue systems enable you to elucidate the intricate biochemical choreography of cellular development, disease, and regeneration. Minimized volumes maximize insights.
Theorem: The Proof in Living Systems
The suffix 'rem' echoes theorem, a mathematical truth derived through logic and evidence. Each microtissue cluster tests and reinforces biological principles in real time. Use our tools to build out a high-throughput analysis pipeline on premises, built to keep complex analyses in sync with multiplexed data collection.
