iPSC-based platforms that accelerate the development and manufacture of your cell therapies
Leading the Future of Cell Therapy Manufacturing
At Cellistic, we believe the real potential of cell therapy is allogeneic and iPSC-based – and it’s ready to be unlocked. We’ve founded our company to accelerate the development and manufacture of your cell therapies in a more reliable, affordable, and faster way, using our exclusive Pulse + Echo Platforms.
This family of established manufacturing processes for cell line development and cell therapy manufacturing can take your innovation from idea to edited and banked iPSCs, and then from iPSCs to drug product – all while keeping it in the expert hands of a single, experienced development team.

Cell line development
From idea to edited iPSCs
Our Pulse Platform for cell line development provides everything you need – the tools, the systems, the space, and the thinking – to drive toward your perfect cell while dramatically reducing your timelines.

Streamlined idea-to-edited-iPSC development: We offer precise and proven reprogramming, gene editing, and cell banking technologies for accelerated development.
Unique, purpose-built capacity: We’ve invested heavily in automating and streamlining workflows, and enhancing data management for iPSCs.
Dedicated quality systems: Our integrated process controls and robust analytical testing strategies help ensure the highest quality GMP starting materials.

Cell manufacturing
From banked iPSCs to drug product
Our Echo Platform for cell therapy manufacturing is built-to-scale to be highly efficient from the ground up, shortening your final mile to a final product.

Bespoke, flexible manufacturing capacity: Our facilities are designed for a single purpose – iPSC-based allogeneic immunotherapy.
Scaled NK production: Having already mastered critical manufacturing processes, we can produce multi-liter, feeder-free defined NK cells at at least 2 billion cells per liter.
T-cell generation from iPSCs: We’ve done it – repeatedly. We’ve met the high demands required for phenotypic purity, reprogramming efficiency, heterogeneity, etc.
Capitalize on our mastery of human biology and iPSCs
Talking about what’s possible is one thing. Proving it is quite another. That’s why we’re leveraging the know-how and experience of more than 120 professionals to demonstrate where we can set new benchmarks in cell therapy manufacturing – by achieving, for example, gene editing efficiencies in the high 90 percent range (with four or five edits at a time).

How can we help
As we’ve talked with cell therapy developers who are actively exploring iPSCs, those discussions ultimately tend to reflect three common concerns:



How can we help
As we’ve talked with cell therapy developers who are actively exploring iPSCs, those discussions ultimately tend to reflect three common concerns:

They’re seeking the most effective way to advance their therapy;

They’re looking for a partner that has more than just a basic understanding of iPSCs; and/or

They’re striving to ensure that they’re ideally positioned to maximize the efficiency of a future scale-up.
If those challenges sound familiar, Cellistic can help. Let’s start with what’s on your mind – your project plans, your questions about iPSC technology, your most pressing science and business drivers. We’re here to listen and, if you find us a good fit, to help you maximize the opportunity and value of your cell therapy.
