Exhibits complex neurological processes—including memory, learning, and cognition—and predicts human outcomes in preclinical drug development
NEW ORLEANS, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 28bio today announced the Nexon™ neurotechnology platform—a major advancement in understanding human brain function. The platform integrates tissue engineering, neural interfacing and AI to engineer human brains at-scale and replicate complex neurological processes.
The Nexon™ platform is now being used to improve the prediction of therapeutic efficacy and toxicity in humans, with several of the world’s largest pharma companies already integrating Nexon™ into their drug development workflows.
The Nexon™ platform also incorporates Organoid Intelligence (OI). The growing field of OI combines human brain organoids with brain-machine interfaces to model memory, learning, and cognition in vitro, offering novel functional cognitive biomarkers with the potential to reshape drug development in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease.
Neurological drug development faces some of the highest failure rates in the pharmaceutical industry, due to poor translatability of animal models. Despite promising preclinical study results, many therapies ultimately fail in humans—contributing to a growing neurological health crisis and need for more predictive, human-relevant models.
“We engineer human brains capable of elucidating the complexity of neurological processes and produce predictive data needed to change the trajectory of neurological drug development,” said Alif Saleh, CEO of 28bio. “Industry and regulators are urgently asking for solutions to develop better neurological drugs faster and cheaper.”
