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.

01

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
02

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
03

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
04

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
  • Manufacturing access
  • Regulatory expertise
  • Investor network
