About Cellares

a. Cellares operates as an integrated development and manufacturing organization (IDMO) that focuses on developing and manufacturing a cell shuttle to automate cell therapy. In June 2026, Cellares Corp. The company is developing a cell shuttle solution to overcome the limitations associated with manufacturing cell therapies for patients in need. Cellares' proprietary platform, Cell Shuttle, a modular and automated solution comprising hardware, software, robotics, and consumables, can produce 10 patient doses and enables end-to-end automation of the labor- and time-intensive process that creates cell therapies, including CAR-T, used to treat blood cancers by modifying and growing cells from the patient's own immune system to attack cancer cells. PACT Pharma and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have joined Cellares' partnership program to participate in user studies, inform system specifications, and provide feedback on their platform to help ensure product-market fit. Cellares generates revenue through its IDMO (Integrated Development and Manufacturing Organization) services, offering automated cell therapy manufacturing via the Cell Shuttle™ platform. Additional revenue streams include licensing its advanced manufacturing technology, selling proprietary consumable cartridges, and providing software solutions like Cell Q™ for process control and analytics.
