MISSION-DRIVEN

Founders Dr. Sally Temple and Dr. Jeff Stern wanted to solve the problem of daily feeding of stem cells.

Founders Drs. Sally Temple and Jeff Stern asked why human pluripotent stem cells needed daily replenishment of nutrients – did they really need to be fed 7 times a week? With a team of research scientists, they found that FGF2 depletion was the key reason for daily feeding. They produced a stabilized FGF2 in the form of controlled-release technology and founded StemCultures to produce innovative StemBeads® and DISC™ Device cell culture products.
