Cloud drug R&D using scalable human models and AI. The infrastructure layer for animal‑based preclinical research — a multi‑billion‑dollar industry — is becoming structurally vulnerable as drug developers confront the limits of animal biology. LithopsBio is building the next infrastructure layer that succeeds it: an AI decision engine powered by Wetware Twins—our lab‑grown miniature brains that generate patient‑relevant data—delivered as an AWS‑like platform.
