Чем занимается Volumetric

About Us Volumetric is a recognized world leader in building living multicellular tissues, with a focus on replicating discrete functions of the human body for basic mechanistic biology, laboratory testing and screening, and drug development. Founded in 2018 by Bagrat Grigoryan and Jordan Miller as a spin-out from Rice University, the full potential of our work is to build whole human organ replacements for patients, made from their own cells. Our Technology and Approach We have invented a suite of breakthrough 3D bioprinting technologies, featured on the cover of Science, that can build human tissue with complex blood vessel networks. We are leveraging this technology in the short term to build patient-specific tissues for drug safety and efficacy testing. Patient cells are taken from a biopsy, added to our proprietary 3D printed tissues, and then drug compounds are injected through the blood vessel network to mimic actual drug delivery in humans. Our vision is that our technology will provide rigorous, reproducible, and predictive outcomes for patients, resulting in drastically improved outcomes for diseases like cancer. More broadly, we see the full potential of our mission as being able to produce functional tissue and organ replacements for diseased or damaged vital organs in the body such as the lung, liver, pancreas, kidney, and heart.

Build living multicellular human tissues

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build living human tissues with complex blood vessel networks using proprietary 3D bioprinting technology. Our product replicates discrete human organ functions for biology research, drug testing, and drug safety screening. We take patient cells from biopsies, add them to printed tissues, and deliver drugs through built-in vessels to mimic real human responses. Long term, we aim to replace diseased organs with functional, patient-specific tissues.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in Houston, TX, and the company would remain there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Houston puts us close to Rice University where our technology started and provides access to biomedical and industrial bio partners. We're rooted here and it's where our team and ecosystem are strongest.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Volumetric в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Volumetric (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Volumetric представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
