We were honored to join Mayor Molly Rawn and fellow innovators at a Venture Roundtable to discuss the future of life sciences and entrepreneurship in Northwest Arkansas.

It was energizing to exchange perspectives on the challenges growing companies face and how our region can continue to support innovation. Northwest Arkansas may surprise some, but the momentum here is real, and we’re proud to be building Humimic Biosystems in a community that’s actively investing in the next generation of life science companies.

“We appreciated connecting with Fayetteville’s business leaders and sharing ideas to make the city even stronger for growing companies.”
- Kartik Balachandran, PhD, Cofounder & CTO

Thank you to the City of Fayetteville Arkansas Government for including us in this important conversation.

We’re proud to celebrate our Cofounder and CEO, Lexi Applequist, on being named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 (Science)🎉

“Being named to Forbes 30 Under 30 is incredibly meaningful, not only as a personal milestone, but because it represents recognition beyond the traditional academic and scientific community,” said Applequist. “As someone living with a chronic autoimmune disease, I’ve experienced firsthand how often drugs fail patients; this is what drives my work with Humimic to streamline drug development. This recognition belongs to an entire team of brilliant collaborators whom I have the honor to work with and learn from.”

Lexi’s impact to date includes: 
💰 $500K+ in non-dilutive research & commercialization funding
📄 4 peer-reviewed publications & 2 patents filed
💬 300+ customer discovery interviews
🌍 Research and pitch presentations across 7 countries

What makes Lexi’s leadership extraordinary is her refusal to accept “this is just how things work.” Her work bridges biomedical innovation and entrepreneurship, driven by a mission to make healthcare more equitable, efficient, and human-relevant; so fewer patients are left waiting on therapies that truly work. 💊

We’re excited to continue building the future of organ-on-chip technology under her leadership.

❗❗ RESEARCH UPDATE ❗❗
A new manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research: Part A.

This paper characterizes a novel material, pz-PDMS™, that can:
💡 measure how heart cells beat in Humimic’s organ models, helping us determine how the human body will respond to new treatments.
🧪 noninvasively quantify the contractile strength of cardiomyocytes, enabling real-time assessment of drug responses in vitro.

This type of research forms the scientific foundation of Humimic’s CoCo Chip™ (a heart-on-chip platform), advancing our mission to replace outdated animal models with smarter, human-relevant platforms that accelerate drug discovery.

We’re proud to see our work contributing to both academic knowledge and the future of biotech innovation.

We’re excited to pitch this morning at the Governor’s Cup! Huge thanks to Arkansas Capital Corporation and Digi Thompson for creating an incredible event that invests in students, accelerates growth, and helps bring new ideas to life.

Thankful for ACC Capital for putting together this event and our incredible support network from University of Arkansas, Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Phil Shellhammer, and David Hinton, MBA, PhD, RTTP

Still feeling so grateful and fired up after an incredible weekend at the Rice Business Plan Competition — the Super Bowl of entrepreneurship!

We had the chance to pitch, learn, get feedback from some of the best in the industry, and connect with so many inspiring founders and investors. It’s wild to think about how far we’ve come — and exciting to think about what’s next as we keep working to change the game in preclinical drug development.

Biggest thanks to our advisors David Hinton and Phil Shellhamer for always believing in us and pushing us to be our best. And to the University of Arkansas Office of Entrepreneurship & Innovation for supporting us every step of the way.

Thank you to the entire RBPC team and all the judges for creating such an unforgettable experience. Definitely a weekend we won’t forget!
