Get Started

A snapshot of Ncardia

For the past decade at Ncardia, our team has collaborated with a broad array of clients to forge ahead their drug discovery programs for cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Throughout that process, they’ve leveraged our human iPSC products and services to increase their probability of downstream success in the discovery and development of new therapies. At Ncardia, we lean into advanced technology, so we can provide the right solutions: high-quality cells, relevant screening assays and robust iPSC differentiation processes for drug discovery and regenerative medicine.

Mission

To enable therapeutic developers harness the full potential of iPSCs with the goal of enhancing clinical success of their therapies

Vision

Capitalize on the unique value only iPSCs can deliver to revolutionize drug discovery and regenerative medicine
