Cell Projects licenses Electroporation Technologies from Queen’s University, Canada

16 Oct 2008 - Cell Projects (UK) has entered into a wide ranging commercial license and joint development agreement with Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, covering several new Electroporation platform technologies for Adherent and InSitu Cell Electroporation.
 
The ground-breaking technology allows DNA, peptides, siRNA and many other molecules to be gently transported into cultured, adherent cells while the cells are still attached to their growing surface. The data shows dramatic improvements of sensitivity and operation over existing methodologies.
 
Tom Hole MD at Cell Projects says ‘the InSitu technology will enable a greater understanding of specific cellular activities that to date have been difficult to analyze yet are known to be important in further understanding the mechanism of cancer, and other biological problems’.
