Evercyte bringing latest cell-based advances at BIO-Europe

Vienna, Austria: – Innovative biotech manufacturer Evercyte will be returning to Europe’s key pharma partnering event, BIO-Europe with latest details of its cell-based products and services.

Evercyte’s Chief Technology Officer and co-founder, Regina Grillari, will lead the team in Munich, along with Head of Biological Division, Eva Harreither.

ADMET and hTERT advances

Dr. Grillari’s team has made significant recent advances in broadening the catalogue of cell derived products and services to support its partners involved in ADMET analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion disposition of substances, along with their toxicity.

“We’re really looking forward to using the EBD partneringONE network to reach out to prospective customers and partners,” said Dr. Grillari.

“We have a great deal to discuss and offer, ranging from our established and novel cell lines of various tissues such as kidney (RPTEC/TERT1), skin (HDF/TERT1, NHEK/SVTER3-5), lung (hBEC3-KT) or muscle (LHCN-M2) that create breakthrough opportunities in various areas of drug discovery and the preclinical in vitro studies (ADME/T)” Dr. Grillari added.

B-different IPS

Late last year, Evercyte announced it had made significant breakthroughs in the development of ‘B-different’ human patient-specific B-cells from urine-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (IPS).

Its joint development project with the Children’s Cancer Research Institute in Vienna has provided a platform to advance the science of generating B-cells for basic research and personalized cell based therapies.

About Evercyte

Evercyte GmbH, based in Vienna, manufactures a range of innovative cell-based products; including primary/normal cells; telomerase (hTERT) immortalized or life span extended cells and differentiated cells from immortalized or normal stem cells.

Recently, Evercyte has become a key player in the development of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from human urine as a non-invasive source for generating cell material. The company also offers a range of cell-based assays, used in development of drug screening strategies and other applications. It also develops assays to individual specification to help customers reduce their time and spend on drug discovery and development.

Systematically establishing and commercializing relevant cell model systems from donors of different genetic backgrounds, Evercyte’s Pharmacocellomics™ is also improving the predictability of substance efficiencies and side effects in the general population.
