Atelerix has announced that it has significantly expanded and strengthened the commercialization of its innovative product range by hiring industry expert Sanj Kumar as its Chief Business Officer.

Sanj is a highly accomplished life science executive and sales and marketing leader with extensive international experience. Perhaps best known for setting up Axol Bioscience’s entire commercial operation and establishing DiscoveRx’s European business, his most recent roles include Commercial Manager for Cell Guidance Systems and General Manager for ELRIG.

Mick McLean, CEO for Atelerix commented “We are delighted to welcome Sanj to join the Atelerix team at this pivotal time for the commercialization of our technology and products. We’re reaching out across the world, and Sanj’s experience in building international commercial operations from scratch is crucial for our success.”

Atelerix’s patented technology enables the storage and transport of human cells at temperatures between 4°C and 25°C, preserving and extending their functional viability from days to weeks. The technology encapsulates cells in a natural hydrogel for safe shipment and storage. The cells can be recovered when needed by the addition of a gentle, cell-friendly buffer. Atelerix sells its products and services to customers in the cell therapy sector, as well as those developing cells, organoids and assays for use in drug discovery and development.

Sanj Kumar, the newly appointed Chief Business Officer for the company said “I am excited and thrilled to join Atelerix. Having supplied cell-based products to the global life science community for over twenty years, I understand the need for the paradigm change that is represented by Atelerix’s encapsulation technology. The ability to ship biological material at room temperature is revolutionary and I am eager to apply my commercial experience to help Atelerix grow.”

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell Lines Stem Cells and Primary CellsPrimary cell cultures, established cell lines and stem cells are vital for <i>in vitro</i> and <i>ex vivo</i> experimentation. High-quality cells, optimized for your applications, alongside optimized cell substrates, growth medium and supplements, are critical for experimental success. Explore a range of cells suitable for your applications, including isogenic cell lines, competent cells, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cell lines, fungal/bacterial/mammalian cell lines, stem cells and cancer cell lines. Find the best cells for your research in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.Storage SolutionsSample StoragePreserving clinical trial samples to the highest standards is a critical component in maximizing the value of present day and future clinical research. Specialized storage and transportation of these tissue, blood and serum samples reduces the risk of them being damaged or lost.Stem Cell ResearchStem cells have the ability to produce identical daughter cells as well as progeny, which commit and differentiate. Stem cell research has exciting prospects of biomedical applications in cellular disease modeling, pharmaceutical screening, and regenerative medicine. Cell TherapyCell therapy involves using living cells to treat diseases, often by replacing damaged cells or stimulating regeneration. Stem cell therapy and CAR-T cell therapy are examples of cutting-edge treatments in regenerative medicine and cancer immunotherapy. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best cell therapy tools, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Drug DiscoveryDrug discovery is the process of identifying potential new medications, involving stages such as target identification, compound screening, and preclinical development. It relies on cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput screening, artificial intelligence, and molecular modeling to accelerate the identification of drug candidates. Drug discovery plays a pivotal role in developing new therapies for diseases ranging from cancer to rare genetic disorders. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the latest drug discovery technologies, compare options, check customer feedback, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cell Based AssaysCell-based assays use living cells to measure biological responses to various treatments or stimuli. They are essential for drug discovery, toxicology testing, and understanding cellular mechanisms. These assays are used to assess cell viability, proliferation, gene expression, and other cellular activities. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best cell-based assay tools and reagents, compare products, read customer reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Drug DevelopmentDrug development refers to the process of bringing a new drug to market.
