In this Podcast episode we return to the topic of stem cells. We discussed that autologous stem cells can be a powerful therapeutic tool for Parkinson’s disease in our interview with Professor Jeanne Loring. The challenge however is to manufacture those therapies at scale. Our guest on this episode is taking a major step in alleviating this hurdle. Meet Nabiha Saklayen, the co-founder and CEO of Cellino, a company that merges stem cell biology, laser physics and machine learning to make autologous stem cell therapies possible.
Together with Nabiha, we discussed:
◦ Her personal career story from physics to biotech
◦ Role of finding product/market fit early in a deep tech startup journey
◦ Importance of founding team for any startup
◦ Challenges in manufacturing of autologous cell therapeutics
◦ Cellino’s approach for automated selection and expansion of iPSCs
◦ Applications of stem cells in drug discovery
◦ The future of personalized stem cell therapies
