By Leave a Comment

As 2016 approaches, it is an important time to look back on 2015 and all that the year entailed for stem cell advances. During 2016, I was honored to have interviewed a number of key thought leaders in the stem cell space, including the CEO of the largest dental stem cell company in the world (Tony Veverka of BioEden), Chief Business Officer for a company creating the world’s largest blood cell repository for iPSC production (James Lovgren of ORIG3N), and VP of Research and Development for one of the most innovative companies operating within the stem cell sector (Dr. Grynspan of Stem Cell Medicine).

Throughout 2015, my team and I conducted dozens of other interviews as well, with stem cell executives, investors, and researchers. These interviews were published on our stem cell industry blog and also  informed market projections for BioInformant’s stem cell and cord blood market intelligence reports. [Read more…]

ORIG3N is an interesting and innovative induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) company that describes itself as “leading a transformation in the understanding and treatment of rare, genetically inherited disease.” I am fascinated by the company, because it is one of the only biotechnology companies worldwide to bring their products and services directly to the public.

Specifically, ORIG3N has created the world’s largest uniformly consented blood cell repository, LifeCapsule, and it is using these blood cells to produce patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In addition to collecting donated blood samples for iPSC production, ORIG3N also offers an optional LifeCapsule membership, in which the public can pay $99/year to get permanent access to their own immortalized iPSCs.

You can learn more about the company by reading this fascinating interview with James Lovgren, Chief Business Officer of ORIG3N. It was my honor to meet with him at the recent World Stem Cell Summit in Atlanta, GA. [Read more…]

Instead we had an inspired conversation about the global importance of iPS cells, stem cell market dynamics, and the importance of social platforms to the stem cell community.

I was so inspired by ORIG3N’s vision that I took advantage of the opportunity to interview Mr. Lovgren. [Read more…]
