iPSC-based platforms that accelerate the development and manufacture of your cell therapies
Leading the Future of Cell Therapy Manufacturing
At Cellistic, we believe the real potential of cell therapy is allogeneic and iPSC-based – and it’s ready to be unlocked. We’ve founded our company to accelerate the development and manufacture of your cell therapies in a more reliable, affordable, and faster way, using our exclusive Pulse + Echo Platforms.
This family of established manufacturing processes for cell line development and cell therapy manufacturing can take your innovation from idea to edited and banked iPSCs, and then from iPSCs to drug product – all while keeping it in the expert hands of a single, experienced development team.

From idea to edited iPSCs
Our Pulse™ Platform for cell line development provides everything you need – the tools, the systems, the space, and the thinking – to drive toward your perfect cell while dramatically reducing your timelines.
ADVANTAGES
Streamlined idea-to-edited-iPSC development
We offer precise and proven reprogramming, gene editing, and cell banking technologies for accelerated development.
Unique, purpose-built capacity
We have invested heavily in automating and streamlining workflows, and enhancing data management for iPSCs.
Dedicated quality systems
Our integrated process controls and robust analytical testing strategies help ensure the highest quality GMP starting materials.
From banked iPSCs to drug product
Our Echo™ Platform for cell therapy manufacturing is built-to-scale to be highly efficient from the ground up, shortening your final mile to a final product.
ADVANTAGES
Bespoke, flexible manufacturing capacity
Our facilities are designed for a single purpose – iPSC-based allogeneic immunotherapy.
Family of established manufacturing processes
We already have proven differentiation protocols, meaning we can help you cut years from your iPSC allogeneic development timeline.
Diverse cell type expertise
Our deep experience extends to NK cells, alpha-beta T cells, gamma-delta T Cells, macrophages, and related lineages.
Capitalize on our mastery of human biology and iPSCs
Talking about what’s possible is one thing. Proving it is quite another. That’s why we’re leveraging the know-how and experience of more than 120 professionals to demonstrate where we can set new benchmarks in cell therapy manufacturing – by achieving, for example, gene editing efficiencies in the high 90 percent range (with four or five edits at a time).
iPS cell types successfully differentiated and scaled

Explore a different way forward
Some clients are capitalizing on our expertise for de novo iPSC-based allogeneic projects. Others are moving to them from autologous or donor-derived allogeneic programs. Either way, our expertise and capabilities can help you find an approach that best fits your expectations and needs.

Our facility: Where iPSCs come to grow
In 2024 in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium, we will open Europe’s first facility exclusively dedicated to iPSC-based allogeneic cell therapy manufacturing. We invite you to get a preview of what is inside, and then visit to see firsthand how our capabilities and expertise can contribute to your next project.

How can we help
As we’ve talked with cell therapy developers who are actively exploring iPSCs, those discussions ultimately tend to reflect three common concerns:
They’re seeking the most effective way to advance their therapy;
They’re looking for a partner that has more than just a basic understanding of iPSCs; and/or
They’re striving to ensure that they’re ideally positioned to maximize the efficiency of a future scale-up.
If those challenges sound familiar, Cellistic can help. Let’s start with what’s on your mind – your project plans, your questions about iPSC technology, your most pressing science and business drivers. We’re here to listen and, if you find us a good fit, to help you maximize the opportunity and value of your cell therapy.
