ATEC Ltd is an Australian tissue engineering company providing expert contract R&D and testing services to commercial and public-sector clients.
Based within the world-renowned Bernard O’Brien Institute for Microsurgery
in Melbourne, ATEC offers technical excellence, and access to uniquely productive biological models.
ATEC works on a fee-for-service basis, by partnership or by collaboration. Assays and models include quantification of angiogenesis in vitro and
in vivo; cytotoxicity analyses; matrix development and formulation testing;
and a variety of unique models for target tissue growth (including cardiac, pancreatic islet, adipose, and liver) in proprietary tissue engineering
chambers in small and large animals. Stem cell isolation, propagation,
and in vitro and in vivo differentiation analyses complement these tissue engineering models. Human organoid models in nude rats and mice
are in development, and ATEC is open to proposals for co-development. |
