Notch Therapeutics
MONETIZATION PLANNING
OCTOBER 2020
Notch is a leader in the development of cellular therapeutics originating from pluripotent stem cells that are specifically engineered to address the underlying biology of complex disease systems. The company has unlocked the ability for large-quantity production of T cells and other cells from any source of stem cells to bring best-in-class cell therapy products to thousands of patients. The core of the Notch platform is the Engineered Thymic Niche (ETN), which enables precision control of cell fate during the differentiation and expansion of stem cells, with the potential to generate immunotherapies with decreased variability, increased potency, and engineered improvements. The ETN platform is the first technology that can reliably generate T cells from iPSC-derived progenitor cells using fully defined, non-xenogenic reagents, which has the potential to greatly improve the regulatory, clinical, and commercial attributes for these innovative medicines. The technology was invented in the laboratories of Juan-Carlos Zúñiga-Pflücker, Ph.D. at Sunnybrook Research Institute and Peter Zandstra, Ph.D., FRSC at the University of Toronto. Notch was founded by these two institutions, in conjunction with MaRS Innovation (now Toronto Innovation Acceleration Partners) and the Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) in Toronto.
