CEO Dr. James Kelly recently disclosed that SCI has produced multiple lines of human pluripotent stem cells. These cell lines are able to maintain their undifferentiated state and normal chromosome complement. The cells are produced without feeder layers (xenofree). The company is able to efficiently develop multiple lines, the first step in creating banks of cells that can be matched to patients in cell therapies.
To be able to serve the European market and to make the cells available to both scientists in Academia and the European Pharma and Biotech industry, SCI will produce stem cell lines in Leiden as well as in Houston, Texas.
