🚨 A pivotal shift in drug development The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released draft guidance supporting New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) as alternatives to animal testing; marking a major step toward human-centric drug development. At OminiWell, this aligns directly with our mission. Human-relevant models, such as organoids and organ-on-chip systems, offer: ➡️ Better prediction of human responses ➡️ Improved safety before clinical trials ➡️ Faster paths to market With clear validation principles now outlined, the regulatory pathway for NAMs is becoming stronger than ever. This is more than progress: It’s a shift toward more predictive, efficient, and ethical science. https://lnkd.in/eWXrt7RQ #NAMs #DrugDevelopment #FDA #OrganOnChip #Biotech #Innovation

🚀🚀 🚀On 16 December 2025, the U.S. Senate passed the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 — another step towards broader adoption of human-relevant, non-animal nonclinical testing. This strengthens the pathway for NAMs (advanced in vitro systems, computational models, and organ-on-a-chip). At OminiWell, we’re advancing BioTwin™ to model tissue microenvironments using complex, multicellular co-culture systems for disease modelling and therapeutic development. #FDAModernization #OrgansOnChips #HumanRelevantScience #NonclinicalTesting #BiotechInnovation #DrugDevelopment https://lnkd.in/e9SzgNXc

The 2025 Fearless Innovator Grant Program Awards proved one thing: fearless vision changes everything. The Awards hit Adelaide with unapologetic energy - backing 22 women-led ventures with more than $150,000 in Fearless Innovator Grants and Fearless Impact Prizes. These founders receive just 0.05% of global venture capital as sole founders, yet they’re scaling, innovating and rewriting the future anyway - fearless to the core. Fearless Innovator Grant Winners: • $60,000 Scale Up – Jo Schneider, Placements Plus • $20,000 Accelerate – Christel Cherryadi ✨ Cherryadi, Mirror XR • $20,000 Accelerate – Kelly Kuhn, River Murray Dark Sky Tours • $20,000 Westpac Elevate – Amy Smith, Secure State Fearless Impact Prize Winners: • Distil Advisory CFO Packages – Natalie Radford and Courtney Radford, SKOOT Community Access; Eloise Hall, Taboo Period Products • Callie Rose PR Package – Isobel Marshall Marshall & Jas Beger, ACRO Health • Oranje. brand + creative Brand Development Package – Sylvia C., OminiWell • BespokeHR Leadership Package – Tiffany Murray, ROOM Our special guest speaker Katherine Bennell-Pegg, Australia’s first astronaut - set the room alight. Fearless, future-focused and limitless, she showed us that aiming higher is not just a metaphor - it is a mindset. This is what happens when community steps up. When sponsors, donors and government back founders who are too often overlooked. When possibility outweighs barriers.
