Company Summary

Pharmaceutical R&D in cancer has traditionally been limited by the inability to grow and test human tumors in the laboratory. Celltana's proprietary growth media and cell lines fill this unmet need. Our goal is to transform drug development by providing a real-time platform for pharma companies to test novel drugs, and optimize treatment for patients by enabling doctors to identify the best drug to treat the patient's specific cancer.
