3D Health Solutions
3D Health Solutions Inc. (3DHS) is a spinoff company from Iowa State University (ISU) that seeks to improve screening methods for preclinical Pharmaceutical R&D and precision medicine applications in oncology. 3DHS was incubated out of the ISU Startup Factory and is backed-up by the National Science Foundation, the Iowa Economic Development Authority, the Regents Innovation Fund, the John Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship (Pappajohn Iowa Entrepreneurial Venture Competition 2020 award winner), and the Iowa Biotechnology Association (2021 award winner). By developing a better screening tool for drug testing, we expect to significantly impact the time and cost expenditures in drug research and development – ultimately benefiting patients and systematic healthcare costs.
3DHS’s transformational technology is based on the development of “miniature 3D organs” that are sampled from individuals with different genotypes, environmental risk factors or drug sensitivity profiles, thereby reflecting the diversity of the disease background across many demographics. The company founders are prominent scientists in their field of research and have concluded a 5-year research cooperation agreement with the U.S. FDA for the development of this technology.
