Best in class in vitro models to accurately predict in vivo outcomes.Newcells Biotech is based at The Biosphere, a purpose-built complex for science-based businesses located on The Helix science campus in Newcastle upon Tyne, UKThe company was founded in 2015 as a spin-out biotechnology company from Newcastle University.The company is founded on the technology and expertise of one of the UK's leading centres for stem cell biology and is located alongside one of the largest research-intensive medical university and hospital complexes in the UK.NEW THINKINGHuman-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines are fast becoming instrumental in advances in disease modelling, drug development and drug toxicity. We can significantly improve the unpredictable and costly global drug discovery process by delivering the "best in biology" human tissue samples and converting these lines into specific cell types.NEW APPROACHESWe create differentiated cells and incorporate them into novel pre-clinical assays covering both human and other key species using our iPSC and cell biology techniques.NEW OPPORTUNITIESWe have the expertise to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in industry and academia. We are experts in developing cells of the retina, kidney, liver, and lung – making simple models and complex miniature organs to mimic in-vivo human physiology.NEW DISCOVERIESWorking with ethically sourced patient samples we can build in-vitro models of diseases to accelerate the exploration of targets and new chemical entities.
