BioTools Innovator’s Post

The BioTools Innovator program is well underway, and we are already looking forward to our culminating #BTICapstone24 in September. Before we get there, we’d like to help you get to know our cohort companies better - you’re in for a real treat! First up we’d like to introduce you to EmGenisys, a company aimed at improving live birth outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques. They are innovating by leveraging animal IVF as a means to promote human health. Cara Wessels Wells, PhD Wells explains how she was inspired to start the company with a noble vision and creative approach. Want to see EmGenisys compete in the final competition?

We're excited to see the data revealed from the collaboration between two BTI alumni, CellChorus, a dynamic single-cell analysis platform, and Indee Labs, a hydrodynamic delivery platform. Congrats on the outcome! 👏 Here is what we learned: 📈 Improved CAR-T Yields: Hydroporation resulted in 1.7 to 2 times higher CAR-T yields compared to electroporation, with superior cell viability and recovery. 🔬 Enhanced Cellular Performance: Hydroporated cells exhibited rapid proliferation, robust target cell lysis, and increased pro-inflammatory and regulatory cytokine secretion. 🚀 Scalability: The article demonstrated that scaled-up hydroporation can process 5 x 10^8 cells in less than 10 seconds, showcasing its potential for high-yield and precise CAR-T cell manufacturing. Check out the pre-print with more details below.

That's a wrap on the Innovator Summit, marking just the beginning of the journey for the 2024 BioTools Innovator Cohort. The summit featured panels and workshops led by our alumni, partners, and ecosystem. We couldn't have done it without their insights and industry experience in the biotools space. Special thanks to our partners, BroadOak Capital Partners, Research Corporation Technologies, Inc., Nissan Chemical America Corporation, and Thermo Fisher Scientific for their continued support. We're excited to support the development and growth of the new cohort companies! #IamanInnovator #InnovatorSummit2024 #lifesciencetools #biotools  #techbio

Relationships are developing, synergies are being discovered, and collaboration potential is brewing in the new batch of BioTools Innovators. #biotools #lifesciencetools #techbio #innovatorsummit2024

It’s inspiring to witness what happens when you bring together the BioTools Innovator and MedTech Innovator ecosystems, alumni, and 2024 cohort companies for a two-day, action-packed Innovator Summit in Mountain View, California. #biotools #techbio #lifesciencetools #innovatorsummit2024
