Company Profile

Shanghai IxCell Biotech Co., Ltd. is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development and industrial production of cell-based drugs. With a focus on cellular therapeutics, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, innovative products. Our core portfolio spans three key areas: mesenchymal stem cell drugs, induced pluripotent stem cell drugs, and immune cell drugs. These products are supported by a state-of-the-art cell manufacturing platform designed to meet the highest production standards.
Driven by independent research and a commitment to innovation, we have secured over 40 patents related to cell therapy and have set industry-leading standards in manufacturing. Our mesenchymal stem cell drug for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis is among the first in China to reach Phase III clinical trials, positioning it to become one of the country’s earliest commercialized stem cell therapies.
We operate a 4,000m² GMP-compliant production facility located in the heart of Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Pudong, Shanghai. This facility integrates both research and manufacturing, enabling us to advance our mission of bringing cutting-edge cell therapies to market. The company has been recognized with several honors, including High-Tech Enterprise, Shanghai Specialized and New Small Enterprise, and Shanghai Key Enterprise status.
