No needles, no drops: Biophta tackles blindness risks with a 7-Day gel tablet
Approximately 1 billion patients have lost sight due to ocular diseases, even though multiple treatments exist. Half of the patients find it hard to keep up with their eye treatments, resulting in millions losing their vision each year. The effectiveness of solutions like eye drops, gels, and ointments for front-of-the-eye conditions highly depends on how […]
Human-like bioprinted tissues with bio ink is making clinical testing cruelty-free
Despite ethical concerns, 90% of preclinical trials rely on animal testing. However, only 50-60% of these tests accurately predict human outcomes. But what if these tests could be performed directly on human-like tissues, eliminating the need for animal models? BIO INX is making this a reality by helping develop 3D-printed human tissue models that closely […]

This startup uses black soldier flies to cut farm emissions.
Over the past decade, the average American’s protein consumption has increased by 25%. This surge in demand has led to unsustainable livestock farming, producing millions of tons of food waste each year. A significant portion of this waste ends up in landfills, producing greenhouse gases. FAO estimates that the global livestock industry produces 14.5% of […]
5 AI innovations in healthcare shaping diagnostics and drug development
Over 500 million global diabetes patients urgently need better wound care. The existing AI healthcare systems are unable to meet this demand. AI healthcare systems struggle to detect chronic conditions accurately. They cannot reliably identify biomarkers from large medical datasets, leading to suboptimal patient care. Many innovators have identified this gap and are working towards […]
This blood test detects cancer in less than 2 hours!
Breast cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when found early, yet deaths in Southeast Asia are expected to nearly triple by 2040.
