About Cellcolabs

Cellcolabs is contributing to better global health through efficient large-scale production of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) which are used in advanced cell therapies. The company builds on cutting edge research from Karolinska Institutet and is located at Campus Solna.

Today, global production of MSC is almost only done for research purposes or in University Hospital laboratories. Cellcolabs specializes in industrial production of selected cells to make high quality and GMP produced cell therapies at scale - ultimately dramatically lowering the price of research as well as the treatments of the future. By producing at scale, we will speed up both the clinical development and use of advanced cell treatments.

Cellcolabs is founded and backed by some of Sweden’s foremost health and life science entrepreneurs. Main owners are Takura, Vatio and Norrsken Foundation.
