About Semarion
Based in Cambridge, UK, and founded in 2018, Semarion Ltd operates as a company that combines materials engineering and cell biology to tackle unmet drug screening needs. Jeroen Verheyen (CEO), Tarun Vemulkar (CTO), and Russell Cowburn are the co-founders of the company. It is a spin-out company from the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The company develops SemaCytes, a novel class of cell carrier materials, which are constructed by combining microchip fabrication methods, nanomagnetism, and smart materials. These flat assaying microcarriers work as ultra-miniaturized, magnetically steerable wells that transport small colonies of adherent cells into suspension to improve cell-based investigations. They allow for the controlled mobility of cell types that require adhesion to a surface, such as those employed in vitro drug screening. SemaCytes is compatible with a variety of multi-well plate formats, liquid handling instruments, and imaging tools such as high-content screening equipment, and it integrates with existing processes.
