STEM CELL PRODUCTS
ENABLING NOVEL THERAPIES

We are unlocking the full potential of regenerative medicine through our innovative extracellular vesicles (EVs) technology.

Our EV products are inspired by the body’s own healing mechanisms, capturing the therapeutic power of stem cells, without the hurdles and limitations of traditional cell-based therapies.

With our EV therapeutics we aim to address critical unmet medical needs, by ensuring reproducibility, scalability and safety.

Products

Based on our stem cell technology platforms, Phoenestra provides access to a wide variety of promising cell-based product candidates for R&D, drug discovery and therapeutic applications. From the start we have the requirements of the final product in mind.

The selection of donors and donor materials is performed with all safety, ethical and legal requirements in place. For iPS cell-derived products, Phoenestra is currently establishing an end-to-end approach from urine sampling to release of GMP-grade products. For MSC-based products, we provide a one-stop-shop concept in collaboration with Evercyte (stable cell lines, potency assays) and TAmiRNA, the expert company in RNA profiling and biomarker development.

EVscale is our world-leading technology platform for manufacturing biologically active EV with consistent quality and in clinically relevant quantities from small manufacturing footprints. With this tech platform, we are the ideal partner for your EV/exosome product development project. Please refer also to the EVscaleCatalogue in the Resources section.
