The Human Tissue Experts. Better Translating Discoveries into Therapies.

About us

Biopta (now REPROCELL Europe) has been providing laboratory services to the pharmaceutical industry since 2002. Our scientists specialize in human tissue research (including sourcing, handling, and experimenting) and sell a range of stem cell and 3D cell culture products as part of the wider REPROCELL group. We have recently expanded our service offering to include central laboratory and precision medicine services. *** Our expertise covers all areas of human tissue research - including sourcing, handling, and experimenting - allowing us to act as your “Human Tissue Research Department”. Using ethically sourced and obtained human tissues, we provide early indications of drug safety, efficacy and absorption. Our human ex vivo pharmacology models bridge the gap between animal in vivo data and the clinic. • Human safety assays: predict adverse effects in healthy human tissues • Human efficacy assays: use diseased human tissues to demonstrate drug efficacy • Human absorption assays: use respiratory and gastrointestinal tissues to predict drug absorption This invaluable human data is available during early discovery and development phases and helps reduce the number of compounds which fail in the later stages of drug development.

  • The CHMP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use) has adopted a positive opinion for Galderma's nemolizumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and prurigo nodularis (PN) in the EU. Nemolizumab targets IL-31, a key neuroimmune cytokine in the itch-signalling and inflammation pathways, will help patients by tackling one of the most problematic symptoms. This follows its U.S. FDA approval for PN earlier this year. At REPROCELL, we support innovations like these by offering human tissue assays for drug discovery studies. Our assays in fresh skin biopsies can measure critical cytokines like IL-31, providing disease-relevant human data to accelerate drug development.

  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects millions worldwide, with prevalence rising sharply. Despite advancements in treatments for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, the complexity of IBD presents ongoing challenges, including the persistent therapeutic ceiling limiting remission rates. At REPROCELL, we’re addressing this challenge head-on. By leveraging human-derived and bioengineered tissue models, we provide disease-relevant insights that mimic patient responses, enabling researchers to develop innovative, targeted therapies. From evaluating inflammation and fibrosis to testing combination therapies, our cutting-edge models are redefining preclinical research for IBD. Together, we can push past the therapeutic ceiling and improve outcomes for patients. Learn how we’re advancing IBD drug discovery in our new blog: https://hubs.li/Q02_n7_W0

    One of the most transformative advancements in drug discovery is the use of human tissue testing to validate preclinical drug assets. By leveraging patient-derived living tissues, researchers can establish proof of concept in models that closely mimic human disease. This validation does more than boost scientific confidence—it has a profound impact on the development process, adding significant commercial value by reducing the risk of late-stage failures and supporting data-driven decision-making. At REPROCELL, we are proud to advance drug discovery with data-rich, disease-relevant human tissue studies that help pave the way for safer, more effective therapies. Curious about how this approach can benefit your pipeline? Let’s connect!
