Biogelx LtdBiogelx aims to play a leading role in the rapidly growing $1 billion global cell culture market, by supplying peptide hydrogels designed to match the needs of individual cell types.

These tunable hydrogels provide cell biologists with a cell culture method that overcomes the ‘one size fits all’ approach that often limits cell biology research.

Enhanced understanding of cell behaviour will reduce the need for animal testing in the drug development process and accelerate the generation of patient-specific therapies.
