Regenerative medicine could transform the lives of over 100 million patients in the US alone – but today, manufacturing a single personalised cell therapy costs up to $500,000 and takes weeks by hand.
With zero FDA-approved personalised iPSC therapies on the market, the vast majority of patients who could benefit from regenerative treatments still can’t access them.
Cellino is unlocking that potential with an AI-guided, autonomous biomanufacturing platform that uses laser physics, machine learning, and robotics to produce personalised stem cells at scale. Key milestones include:
- $125 million in total funding, including a $25 million ARPA-H award
- FDA Advanced Manufacturing Technology designation secured in May 2025
- First hospital-based iPSC foundry deployed at Mass General Brigham
- Targeting regenerative treatments for Parkinson’s, heart disease, diabetes, and spinal cord injury
- Partnership with Polyphron in January 2026 to advance scalable personalised tissue replacements
