HQ Function

Primary research and development facility for cardiac tissue engineering and 'heart-on-a-chip' platform technology development. Operations are now integrated with Valo Health.

Notable Features:

Formerly located within the Alexandria Center for Life Science, a prominent biotech hub, featuring state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for advanced tissue engineering.

Work Culture:

As a pioneering biotech, TARA fostered an innovative, science-driven, and collaborative environment focused on cutting-edge research and development. This spirit is carried forward within Valo Health's R&D environment.

HQ Significance:

This location served as the birthplace and development hub for TARA's proprietary cardiac tissue modeling technology, crucial for its contributions to predictive drug discovery and reducing attrition in later-stage clinical trials.

Values Reflected in HQ: Commitment to scientific excellence, innovation in drug discovery, and developing human-relevant disease models. These core values align with and are now part of Valo Health's broader mission post-acquisition.

Location:

Prior to its acquisition, TARA Biosystems engaged in collaborations with pharmaceutical partners internationally. Now integrated into Valo Health, its cutting-edge technology contributes to Valo's broader global strategy in AI-powered drug discovery and development. Valo Health has operations in North America (USA and Canada) and pursues global partnerships and research collaborations. The TARA platform supports these efforts by providing human-relevant data for drug programs with international reach.
