News, coverage, and awards from my projects and my portfolio companies.
I’ll be updating this with the latest features when I get time !
“Organs-on-Chips” wins Design of the Year
"Organs-on-Chips" won London Design Museum’s prestigious ‘Design of the Year’ award. It is the first time an entry from the field of medicine won. "Organs-on-chips" was nominated by Paola Antonelli, from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. She said the chips were the "the epitome of design innovation - elegantly beautiful form, arresting concept and pioneering application".
NatGeo: the Future of Medicine
National Geographic featured Emulate’s Organ-Chip design on its front cover for a special health edition named ‘The Future of Medicine’. The feature describes how “personalized medicine is transforming your health care” and how “stunning advances will predict diseases and devise treatments tailored to each of us”.
“Medical testing on humans is difficult and expensive. Testing on mice isn’t very accurate. What if we had miniature replicas of human organs to use instead?”
“Founders Fund is leading a $36 million investment in Emulate Inc., whose organs-on-chips technology could help drugmakers be more productive”
“A number of companies looking for new approaches to testing their drugs and other products are turning to “organs-on-chips” technology from Emulate Inc.”
“This Technology Could Help Make Testing Cosmetics on Animals Obsolete”
“Miniature simulations allow scientists to study physiological mechanisms and behaviors in ways never before possible, creating opportunities for drug development”
“It sounds futuristic, but it’s not sci-fi: Human organs-on-a-chip”
“Tiny 'Organ Chips' Promise Big Boost to Testing of Food, Drugs”
“Could organs-on-a-chip one day replace animals in medical testing?”

Mic.com
Mic.com created this film as part of their ‘Future Present’ series. The content features Emulate’s scientific founder, the technology’s potential to replace animal testing, and the translation from lab experiment at Harvard Univeristy’s Wyss Institute to commercialization by Emulate, Inc.
World Economic Forum
Emulate’s Organs-on-Chips technology was named as a Top 10 Emerging Technology by the WEF. Published in collaboration with a Scientific American report, the annual showcase highlights technological advances its members believe have “the power to improve lives, transform industries and safeguard the planet”.
PETA Company of the Year
PETA announced biotech startup Emulate, Inc., as their 2014 Company of the Year. Emulate launched with a mission of commercializing groundbreaking new “Organs-on-Chips” that are poised to replace the cruel and ineffective use of tens of millions of animals in disease experiments and cosmetics, chemical, and drug tests with cutting-edge research tools based on human biology.
