FDA and Emulate have entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to evaluate and qualify the use of Emulate’s [Organs-on-Chips technology](http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Femulatebio.com%2Fsystem%2F&esheet=51539234&newsitemid=20170411005455&lan=en-US&anchor=Organs-on-Chips+technology&index=2&md5=7b4fc7e03ec03d80c851662f4146e585&ref=fdaweb.com) as a platform for toxicology testing to meet regulatory evaluation criteria for products. The CRADA studies will use Emulate’s [Human Emulation System](http://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Femulatebio.com%2Finsight%2Fproduct-design%2F&esheet=51539234&newsitemid=20170411005455&lan=en-US&anchor=Human+Emulation+System&index=3&md5=8ee3952a1a96ce7541a399c6881b2802&ref=fdaweb.com), which comprises Organ-Chips, instrumentation and software apps. The system “recreates the natural physiology of specific human tissues and organs, and is designed to provide a predictive model of human response to diseases, medicines, chemicals, and foods with greater precision and detail than other preclinical testing methods, such as cell culture or animal-based experimental testing,” the company says.
