Following the groundbreaking first cloning of a mammal (Dolly the Sheep) at the Roslin Institute within the University of Edinburgh (UK) in 1996, there was worldwide interest to access Roslin’s technology and expertise. RoslinCT’s story begins in 2005, when Roslin Cells was founded by the Roslin Institute to pioneer the creation of new human embryonic stem cell lines. In 2015 RoslinCT was established from Roslin Cells to focus on translating this science into the development and manufacture of life-changing cell and gene therapies. Today, we continue to build on that legacy of scientific excellence, advancing the next generation of medicines for patients worldwide.
RoslinCT, as one of the first in the world to produce clinical-grade human pluripotent stem cells, has a strong focus on science and innovation. In collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, RoslinCT developed, from early process development through commercialization, the First CRISPR-Edited Cell Therapy Product, exa-cel for the treatment of sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.
A significant part of developing its global services more recently, has been the acquisition of a large state-of-the-art facility in Boston. In addition to allowing the company to expand its array of services, this has also enhanced expertise, resources, and transatlantic cGMP manufacturing capabilities to support the development and commercialization of advanced cell & gene therapies worldwide.
Throughout its history, RoslinCT has prided itself on not overpromising, but delivering, on behalf of its clients, advanced cell and gene products acceptable to regulators around the world.
Forging partnerships through delivery and innovation.
It’s not about what we do – it’s about why we do what we do.
With innovation, we support our people, partners, and patients.
Creating a sustainable future is everyone’s responsibility and at RoslinCT we take that responsibility seriously.
Climate change is impacting global health and putting pressure on healthcare systems which can lead to further global inequalities. That’s why we are committed to delivering better, faster and more accessible healthcare through our focus on our people, our clients, and our communities, and that’s why we are committed to decarbonizing our business, delivering greener healthcare solutions, and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
