Developing Ice Recrystallization Inhibitors for the Cryopreservation of Cell Therapies

FY 2022-23 · 2023-02-01

Summary
PanTHERA has developed a first-of-its-kind technology that improves the cryopreservation of biological materials. The firm is currently able to manufacture research-grade product at small/medium scale. Briefly, in this project the firm will: a) increase the manufacturing scale, b) optimize the manufacturing process, equipment, infrastructure and materials so they follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), c) develop and validate appropriate quality control tests that prove the quality of the final product, and d) demonstrate non-biased effectiveness of its product relative to commercially available alternatives via third party evaluations. The completion of this project will enable PanTHERA to initiate the commercialization of its product.
