Leading the Future of Cell Therapy

It’s time for allogeneic cell therapies to capitalize on their unique role in the advancement of human health. And at Cellistic, we believe human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based technologies are the future of cell therapy.

Powered by Ncardia, a pioneer in iPSC technology, Cellistic is here to help researchers take their cell therapy innovations beyond the inherent inefficiencies and expense of today’s one-batch-for-one-patient models.

Our work combines our clients’ ambitions with our expertise in iPSCs to deliver the differentiation and scale-up required for successful clinical to commercial allogeneic cell therapies.

Together, we’re primed to cure complex conditions not just for “the one”, but also for “the many.”

Game-Changing
Work Starts Here

iPSC renewable master cell lines. Uniform and complete genetic engineering. Well defined cell models and a homogenous product. Lower cost, off-the-shelf availability. Seizing all that potential demands a team emboldened by the right vision, expertise, and resources.

You’ll find precisely that team at Cellistic.

We occupy a unique industry position that combines our experience in human biology and iPSC technologies with cell differentiation and expansion expertise to deliver manufacture at scale.

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:

most effective way

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

looking for a partner

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

future scale-up

They want to be 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.
