Partnerships
Where academic depth meets industrial scale.
The Cedars-Sinai Biomanufacturing Center operates as a PDMO — co-develop, co-invest, and co-translate with us.
Collaboration Tracks
Four ways to work with us.
cGMP Contract Manufacturing
End-to-end GMP cell manufacturing services — from process development and tech transfer to cGMP production and release testing. We currently manufacture 12+ cell types including iPSC lines, endothelial cells, NK cells, T cells, and neural progenitors.
- Process development
- Tech transfer
- GMP production
- Release testing
- Regulatory support
Co-Development & Sponsored Research
Joint research programs with industry partners where we co-develop manufacturing processes, differentiation protocols, or disease modeling platforms. Sponsored research agreements with defined IP provisions and milestones.
- Joint research programs
- Sponsored research agreements
- IP co-ownership options
- Milestone-based contracts
Technology Licensing
Access to our portfolio of 32+ patents across six domains: iPSC reprogramming, cell differentiation, organ-on-chip, bioengineered tissues, hypoimmune engineering, and autonomous biomanufacturing.
- Exclusive licensing
- Non-exclusive licensing
- Field-of-use restrictions
- Sublicensing options
Venture Incubation
We incubate early-stage cell and gene therapy companies within our cGMP facility — providing lab space, manufacturing access, regulatory expertise, and investor connections to help translate novel therapies toward clinical use.
- Lab space
