Revolutionise Cell Reprogramming with Optimised Microenvironments
Revolutionise Cell Reprogramming with Optimised Microenvironments
Viral delivery enables reprogramming somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells, unlocking revolutionary potential for regenerative medicine and drug discovery. However, current techniques face major limitations:
- Extremely low reprogramming efficiency (~1%) restricts applications 
- Undefined culture microenvironments poorly recapitulate native niches 
- Marginal iterative improvements despite intense R&D efforts 
- Safety concerns around genomic integration 
At Matrix Bio, we overcome these constraints through integrated automation, proprietary hydrogel engineering, and machine learning to recreate the extracellular complexity directing cell fate transitions.
Our automated microfluidics rapidly screens thousands of 3D hydrogel formulations to identify matrices that enhance reprogramming yield and control lineage trajectories.Powerful algorithms discern optimal combinations of architectural, mechanical and bioactive cues from these vast datasets.

The key advantages our platform offers include:
- 10x increased reprogramming efficiency 
- Defined matrix composition and signalling complexity missing from standard 2D culture underlies improved performance. 
- Accelerated development timelines 
- High-throughput automated workflows enable systematic hydrogel optimization 100x faster than iterative approaches 
- Enhanced scale and safety 
Our scaffolds can be fabricated at commercial scales using approved input materials and synthesise protocols. No animal sourcing reduces contamination risks.
