About

Built by the scientists who made nanoscale tissue imaging work.

Magnephy turns ten years of peer-reviewed nanoscale 3D imaging in intact tissue into a service pharma R&D programs use today. Built at SciLifeLab, Stockholm, by the scientists who developed the method.

Our vision

Improving human health by unlocking the nanoscale.

Drug development is built to scale: more candidates, more targets, more throughput. We are built for precision. Magnephy resolves whether a candidate reaches its target and how tissue responds, at the nanoscale, in 3D.

We do the rigorous, unglamorous work that decides a program, so the candidates that deserve to advance do, and safe medicines reach the patients who need them. We are here to build lasting change in how drug candidates are evaluated.

Origins

Where Magnephy comes from.

Magnephy is a SciLifeLab spin-off, with founders from Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Cologne University. The underlying methodology is backed by nearly a decade of peer-reviewed research, published in reputable journals such as Kidney International.
