Proud to share: Frontier Bio won Phase 1 of the $7M NIH Complement-ARIE Challenge. Animal testing of the blood-brain barrier doesn't translate to humans, and CNS drugs fail late and expensively, so we are building a human-relevant alternative (bio + AI).
Frontier Bio just won Phase 1 of the $7M NIH Complement-ARIE Challenge. NeuroTraX-AI pairs human cells with AI to read blood-brain-barrier health from ordinary microscope images, cutting reliance on animal testing. Full details: frontierbio.com/nih-challeng…

🫀✨ What if the human body could grow a new lung, kidney, or blood vessel? At Frontier Bio, we are working to end the organ shortage forever. By pioneering living blood vessels that use a patient's own stem cells, we are turning the body into its own bioreactor to grow natural, living tissue. 🧬 🚀 Join us in building the future of regenerative medicine. Want to help us build this? The link to join our Wefunder is right below this post.

Frontier Bio is leveraging innovative bioprinting and stem cell self-assembly techniques to create microscale lung tissue that mimics natural organ development, addressing the unmet demand for organ transplants. Their technology promises to enhance preclinical models for respiratory diseases and improve vascular graft outcomes, potentially outpacing the performance of current synthetic options. CEO Eric Bennett envisions a future where universal hypoimmune cells eliminate organ waiting lists and reduce reliance on immunosuppressants, backed by collaborations with institutions like Mayo Clinic and funding from the National Science Foundation. synbiobeta.com/read/frontier… Subscribe to our newsletter and get the biggest biotech news straight to your inbox 🧬. syntheticbiologysummit.com/s…

What if we could eliminate organ transplant waitlists forever? Eric Bennett and his team at @Frontier_Bio are pioneering exactly that—revolutionizing regenerative medicine through advanced bioprinting and stem cell self-assembly. Their innovative lung, vascular, and neural tissue models are setting new benchmarks in healthcare innovation. Bennett will be sharing how Frontier Bio is turning this vision into reality as a featured speaker at SynBioBeta this year, offering an inside look at the science and strategy driving the future of regenerative medicine.

NEW: No technology currently exists to repair damaged brain tissue and fully restore lost function. FRONT aims to enable millions with what is considered permanent brain damage to regain lost functions, including motor control, vision, and speech. arpa-h.gov/news-and-events/a…

NIH just validated the field we've been building in for years. If you're ready to move beyond animal models, let's talk.
NIH will prioritize human-based models: organoids, organ-on-chip, engineered tissues. This is exactly what we build at Frontier Bio. If you're looking to partner or invest in next-gen research platforms, now is the time. nih.gov/news-events/news-rel…

1/ Is there a credible plan to solve aging in our lifetimes? A plausible series of steps from where we are today, to a post-aging future? We looked, but we couldn’t find one. So we decided to build one. ↗️ See V1 of the Roadmap: longbiofellowship.org/roadma…

Thrilled to count the legendary George Church among Frontier Bio's esteemed advisors. Dive deeper into his contributions via our friends at Colossal Biosciences. His vision propels us forward. #Biotech #TissueEngineering #GeorgeChurch
The most compelling story we tell around our labs has nothing to do with mammoths. Instead, we tell the story of how bioscience companies like Colossal came to be; it’s a story about the man who made it all possible, Dr. @geochurch. #science #conservation #startups
