About REPROCELL
REPROCELL provides a unique combination of products and services to power your translational research. With scientists and laboratories on three continents, we have the scientific and clinical expertise to better translate your discoveries into therapies.
REPROCELL's portfolio includes an extensive product catalog to support stem cell research and 3D bioengineered tissues, a commercial biorepository of ethically-sourced human tissues, extensive clinical networks across the US and Europe that enable our contract research services in human ex vivo living tissues, and our capability to supply induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for both research and clinical applications.
REPROCELL is also developing novel regenerative medicine therapies to treat neurodegenerative disease, based on its expertise in pluripotent stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells, and is currently conducting clinical trials in Japan for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia. Its diagnostic services and clinical research services are offered across labs in Japan, the US, UK, and India. Reprocell's expertise in patient recruitment, the logistics, and ethics of accessing human biospecimens and diagnostics is driving the development of new technologies to support biomarker research and precision medicine. Combined with our clinical laboratory facilities, these resources and know-how have positioned REPROCELL as a fully integrated partner for the life sciences industry, with clients across the globe.
Few companies can claim to have such broad business activities and capabilities, making REPROCELL a unique partner for providing you with the services and materials you need to navigate the complex world of drug discovery and regenerative medicine.

The History of REPROCELL
Established in 2003 by preeminent Japanese university researchers, REPROCELL quickly became the leading stem cell research company in Japan. Soon thereafter, REPROCELL products were employed by Professor Shinya Yamanaka during his pioneering research on iPSC technologies at Kyoto University. We were the first company to offer iPSC-derived human cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, and neuronal cells for research applications and were listed on the Japan JASDAQ / Growth stock market in 2013.
In recent years, REPROCELL has expanded through a series of acquisitions. This expansion has created a workflow - including human tissue acquisition (BioServe®), RNA reprogramming (Stemgent®), 3D technologies (Reinnervate®), and drug discovery (Biopta®) - in addition to our core capabilities. These acquisitions have been consolidated to regional offices, and the names converted to daughter brands. In the stem cell and drug discovery “market- space”, no other company has such a broad combination of expertise that can be applied to drug discovery and regenerative medicine.
