Project overview

Electronics

The Efferent Labs Cytocomm® Platform combines living cells with miniaturized electronics and wireless connectivity in an implantable biosensor designed to gather real-time data at the cellular level.

  • The Cytocomm® Platform leverages engineered cells to determine the activity of selected molecular pathways
  • Proteins are captured by these engineered cells and produce a detectable fluorescence. The cells are the "brain" of the system and are the first to respond to molecular events.
  • Sensor converts the raw data and wirelessly sends it to the cloud for storage and analysis
  • Real-time molecular data is displayed on a dashboard so researchers can monitor cellular reactions as they occur

Enabling a radical shift in drug development

By gathering accurate real-time data in vivo, researchers can gain unparalleled insight into cellular processes and the response of living systems to specific stimuli.

  • Larger, higher quality data sets enable faster iteration
  • Elimination of bias and data gathering error improves accuracy
  • Validation of in vivo findings to quicker "go/no-go" decisions resulting in reduced drug development time and cost
