NETRI
NETRI is an industrial startup developing organ-on-chip models that combine human cells, microfluidics, neuronal activity measurements, and AI analysis. Its devices are intended to predict drug candidate toxicity, efficacy, and modes of action for applications including pain, dermo-cosmetics, neurological disorders, and nutritional health. In February 2025, the company inaugurated an organ-on-chip production plant in Lyon and announced a €5 million fundraise to support industrial scale-up.
