Newormics was co-founded in 2016 by Prof. Adela Ben-Yakar and Evan Hegarty and is a spinoff from the Ben-Yakar Lab in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin. The technology was first developed to immobilize C. elegans for performing laser axotomy. However its usefulness to allow high-resolution imaging of large numbers of humanized disease-model worms quickly became apparent. Initial pilot studies were performed using a 96 well format vivoChip and customized microscope. These studies identified neuroprotective compounds in an Alzheimer`s model worm, and in a separate study, compounds able to inhibit protein aggregation.

Newormics was founded to develop vivoChip technology and C. elegans based chemical screening further, and provide these products and services to a wider market. The company has provided vivoChip and vivoCube systems to dozens of research institutions and pharmaceutical companies around the globe.
