Vaud-based start-up Limula<\/a> and Valais-based medtech CEIDOS<\/a> have received a grant of EUR 1.14 million from Innosuisse, through the Eurostars<\/a> initiative, to develop a platform dedicated to the automated production of cell and gene therapy products.<\/p>\n

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have shown exceptional clinical efficacy for the treatment of multiple forms of incurable cancers. However, most eligible patients may never receive these life-saving treatments as there are still significant hurdles in manufacturing these therapies at scale.<\/p>\n

Limula\u00a0is offering an automated technology for end-to-end production of CAR-T cell therapies that allows for carrying out all steps of the manufacturing process in a single self-contained device. The solution can potentially change the manufacturing paradigm and make these life-changing solutions at accessible costs while minimizing any manual interventions required.<\/p>\n

A joint project aims to augment Limula\u2019s solution by leveraging technology and expertise from two companies,\u00a0CEIDOS\u00a0and\u00a0Stemmatters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CEIDOS develops C-NETICS, an automated system for continuously monitoring cell density and viability in a non-destructive way. C-NETICS comprises a single-use cartridge that allows cell counting and characterization using microelectrodes and image analysis using an embedded digital microscope. Artificial Intelligence is used to extract rich information from real-time data.<\/p>\n

Based in Portugal, Stemmmaters is a private regenerative medicine company providing contract development and manufacturing services for cell-based products and biologics.<\/p>\n

A perfect synergy of skills for the benefit of technological innovation<\/h4>\n

Highlighting the perfect synergy of skills between the cantons of Vaud and Valais for the benefit of technological innovation in biopharma, the project will combine Limula and CEIDOS\u2019 closed-loop real-time cell culture monitoring into a complementary product offering, while also leveraging Stemmatters\u2019s expertise in cell therapy process development and cGMP manufacturing towards fully closed and automated manufacturing of cell-based immunotherapies.<\/p>\n

The proof-of-concept financed by the Eurostars\u2019 EUR 1.14 million grant will demonstrate the value of a modular platform, addressing the needs of organizations involved in developing new CGT products, from preclinical research to commercialization.<\/p>\n

Beyond the collaboration, Limula will be responsible for the commercialization of the integrated technology to deliver a scalable and cost-effective manufacturing platform as soon as possible to help bring more CGT products into the clinic for the benefit of patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
