grancell

GranCell is a biotechnology company focused on the development of innovative cell therapies, particularly in the field of regenerative medicine. Founded in 2015, the company specializes in creating allogeneic (donor-derived) cell therapies, which aim to address unmet medical needs in areas such as ophthalmology, dermatology, and wound healing. Unlike autologous therapies, which require cells to be harvested from individual patients, allogeneic therapies use cells from healthy donors, offering potential advantages in terms of scalability and accessibility.

GranCell’s lead product candidate, GRAN-001, is an allogeneic cell therapy designed for the treatment of dry eye disease, a chronic condition affecting millions of people worldwide. The therapy involves the transplantation of human corneal epithelial cells derived from healthy donors, intended to restore the tear film and improve ocular surface health. Clinical trials for GRAN-001 have been conducted to evaluate its safety and efficacy, with promising results demonstrating potential benefits for patients suffering from severe dry eye symptoms.

Beyond dry eye disease, GranCell explores other therapeutic applications, including treatments for corneal ulcers, ocular surface disorders, and skin regeneration. The company leverages advanced bioprocessing technologies to ensure the consistency, safety, and quality of its cell-based products. Its research also focuses on expanding its pipeline to address additional ophthalmic and dermatological conditions.

GranCell operates with a mission to improve patient outcomes through cutting-edge cell therapies, emphasizing accessibility and sustainability in healthcare solutions. The company collaborates with academic institutions, research partners, and regulatory agencies to advance its scientific and clinical programs. As the field of regenerative medicine continues to evolve, GranCell aims to contribute to the development of next-generation treatments that enhance quality of life for patients with chronic and debilitating conditions.
