About

Two founders. Both do bench or analysis work on client projects.

Daniele Lima Turaca

Co-founder — cell models

Former Research Associate at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine in San Diego. Five years of hands-on production of human neural organoids, with a focus on drug-screening assays and disease-modeling studies.

Dr. Lauro Thiago Turaca

Co-founder — computational

Former Project Scientist at UC San Diego, with a background spanning stem cell biology, molecular genetics, and computational transcriptomics. Holds an international patent on antisense-oligonucleotide therapy validated by screening in cortical organoids, and received the 2023 UC San Diego Accelerating Innovation to Market (AIM) Award. Currently preparing a high-impact manuscript on a screening platform that identified an ASO capable of reversing disease phenotypes in organoids and in a mouse model.
