Satellite Bio
Satellite Bio is pioneering regenerative medicine by developing implantable tissue therapies to augment or replace liver function, leveraging their SAT Platform to deliver living cells that can repair or replace critical organ functions.
Services
Satellite Bio specializes in regenerative medicine. The company focuses on delivering living cells into the body to repair or replace critical organ functions. Their lead programs are aimed at augmenting or replacing liver function. They utilize Tissue Therapeutics, which enable the delivery and durable engraftment of expanded, mature hepatocyte cells to improve organ function.
Products
Satellite Bio has developed various products based on their Satellite Adaptive Tissue (SAT) Platform. This platform leverages three key technological innovations: expansion, seed formation, and stabilization. Their Tissue Seeds are heterocellular units comprised of expanded hepatocytes and supportive cells. These innovations are part of their mission to optimize the engineering and production of Tissue Therapeutics, ensuring they are scalable, enclosed, semi-automated, and cGMP-compliant.
Technology and Innovations
Satellite Bio’s SAT Platform is a cornerstone of their technological advancements. It offers the innovative capacity to transform virtually any cell type into bioengineered tissues that can be integrated into the body. This achieves through the platform’s three key elements: expansion, seed formation, and stabilization. This technology is further enhanced by their proprietary protocols for isolating, expanding, and maturing primary hepatocyte cells in-house, which facilitates the creation and optimization of Tissue Seeds.
Funding and Development
Satellite Bio has raised $110M to advance their development of implantable tissue therapies. They have demonstrated their preclinical findings at prominent industry events such as the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Annual Meeting. Their research and development efforts are based on more than two decades of collaborative work in tissue technology, biology, and bioengineering.
Location
Satellite Bio is headquartered at 580 Pleasant Street, Watertown, MA 02472. This location serves as the central hub for their research and development activities, aimed at pioneering advancements in regenerative medicine and solid organ cell therapies.
