Leading the next
era of cell culture
technology
We’re a research and development body focused on cell-cultivation technology. With our finger on the pulse of the boldest and best bioreactors and bioprocesses, we’re working on sustainable, scalable technology to drive transformation across industries.
Backed by an inclusive team, industry leaders, and innovative partners — our goal is to produce scalable cell culture technology.
We’re applying novel hollow fibre bioreactor technology to a range of new use cases. Our bioreactors have the potential to drive drastic positive change in food production, pharmaceuticals, and beyond. Watch this space.
About
The people behind our pioneering tech
Cellular Agriculture Ltd is a growing collaboration between researchers, engineers, scientists, and sector-specific specialists.
Our work doesn’t aim to fight or replace nature; we merely adopt nature’s strategies to solve the challenges of our time. To continue this ambitious, fast-moving research, we moved to a bespoke facility at Corsham Science Park from our previous homes in South Wales and the University of Bath.
Our people combine curiosity with precision to tackle complex challenges.
Since 2016, our work has been recognised globally through competitive grants, prestigious awards, and leading accelerator programs. Here’s a look at some of those milestones.
