Our Platform
We start with the endpoint in mind: a transcriptional and functional signature of your desired mature cell type. Using bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data from trusted, publicly available datasets, we establish a transcriptomic benchmark that includes:
- Lineage-defining markers
- Functionally relevant genes
- Developmental and subtype-specific regulators
This target phenotype serves as a quantitative standard for evaluating differentiation fidelity—ensuring that cells don’t just look right, but act right.
Gene expression alone is not enough. We refine culture conditions to support: Using defined media, small molecules, and timed induction strategies, our protocols are optimized for robustness across multiple donors and lots—minimizing variability and ensuring translational relevance.
Better decisions. Faster therapies.
We transform drug development decisions and accelerate new therapies through iPSC technology.
