Built by Researchers, for Researchers
The Microphysiological and Organoid Systems Standards Development Organization (MOSSDO) is a federally funded multi-stakeholder initiative focused specifically on establishing consensus-based standards for organoids, microphysiological systems (MPS), and body-on-a-chip technologies. MOSSDO develops frameworks for reproducibility, validation, and interoperability, enabling these platforms to be more reliably adopted across research, regulatory, and translational settings. In coordination with enabling ecosystem efforts such as PhysioVerse, MOSSDO provides the standards foundation that supports data integration, comparability, and broader field-wide adoption. MOSSDO gives the organoid and MPS ecosystem a focused standards home. Its work helps align terminology, validation expectations, quality practices, and data comparability across the communities that develop, evaluate, and translate advanced in vitro systems.
