We are engineering fiber-based scalable 3D cell culture platforms for adherent cell manufacturing. Our approach is to learn and mimic natural extracellular matrix (scaffold) for efficient growth of adherent cells. We strive to preserve the cell-surface interactions and cell-specific biochemical and structural environment while blending innovative 3D scaffolding approaches to address the scale-up manufacturing needs.
