Understanding human toxicity with multiorgan testing

Learn how biologically relevant 3D human tissue models can reveal organ-specific toxicity earlier and support more informed safety assessment.

Brought to you bySartorius

Predicting drug-induced toxicity before compounds reach the clinic remains a major challenge in drug development. Traditional models often fail to predict human responses, contributing to late-stage failures and safety risks. Human-relevant three-dimensional (3D) tissue models provide an approach for assessing toxicity across multiple organs simultaneously, helping identify potential safety liabilities earlier and inform development decisions.

This research poster presents an integrated multi-organ toxicity workflow using 3D human liver, kidney, and intestinal tissue models in a 96-well format to assess compound safety in a physiologically relevant system. By combining live-cell imaging with functional and molecular readouts, it enables time-resolved, organ-specific characterization of dose-dependent toxicity and compound-specific response profiles.
