A Path to SuperCells™ Therapies
Our Technology
GC Therapeutics Inc. (GCTx) uses synthetic biology to program stem cells into any cell type with best-in-class efficiency (up to 10X), speed (up to 100X) and scalability. We dictate cells fates in a single step and have validated cells for many applications. We have also developed SuperCells™ by tailoring cells for specific diseases.
“Engineering cell types is the key to cell therapies, transplants and testing new drugs”
