Identify more relevant and efficacious candidates faster, more cost-effectively, and with reduced risk. These goals are common to researchers developing therapeutics of all modalities, whether small molecules, proteins and antibodies, or cell-based medicines. Flexible, efficient cell engineering is central to attaining these goals. MaxCyte’s delivery platform accelerates the discovery/development, manufacturing, and commercialization of next-generation, cell-based medicines. MaxCyte provides a patented, high-performance cell-engineering platform to biopharmaceutical partners engaged in drug discovery and development, biomanufacturing, and cell therapy, including gene editing and immuno-oncology. This robust delivery platform, together with a team of scientific experts, help partners unlock the potential of their product candidates by solving development and commercialization challenges.
This platform allows for the engineering of nearly all cell types, including human primary cells, with any molecule, at any scale. It also provides unparalleled consistency and minimal cell disturbance—facilitating rapid, large-scale, clinical- and commercial-grade cell engineering using a nonviral system and with low toxicity concerns. This cell-engineering platform is FDA-cleared, providing customers and partners with an established regulatory path to commercialize cell-based medicines.
MaxCyte is also developing CARMA technology, a proprietary, breakthrough platform in immuno-oncology, to rapidly manufacture chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies for a broad range of cancer indications, including solid tumors where CAR-T cell approaches face significant challenges.
About the Company
MaxCyte has pioneered the development of a cell-engineering platform based on Flow Electroporation™ technology. Originally conceived to meet the stringent demands of cell therapy applications—namely the ability to safely and reproducibly modify human cells with high efficiency, low cytotoxicity, and at the scale required to treat patients—MaxCyte has expanded the platform and applications to accelerate the development of small-molecule drugs, biologics, and vaccines, in addition to enhancing cell-therapy applications.
Most recently, MaxCyte’s delivery platform has been employed in the exciting and growing fields of immuno-oncology and gene editing. Following the announcement of MaxCyte’s CARMA approach to RNA-based CAR-T–driven therapies in 2015, the company has taken the technology to the forefront of medicine by harnessing patients’ own immune systems to combat diseases, such as solid and liquid cancers.
Employed by 9 of the top 10 global pharmaceutical companies, MaxCyte is dedicated to advancing cell engineering through application of its patented delivery platform and collaborative partnerships.
