Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes)

We are developing human red blood cells (Erythrocytes) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in a two-step process (iPSCs to HSCs and HSCs to Erythrocytes). Our novel protocols will use small molecules to make red blood cells, which will allow production of red blood cells at scale. We will use our red blood cells as the foundation for a cell therapy for the treatment of blood loss and various blood diseases and disorders, which we are developing.
