\nInvestment will Accelerate Development of New High-content Screening Assays<\/i><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PhenoVista Biosciences (PhenoVista), a contract research organization (CRO) and leading provider of both custom and off-the-shelf, imaging-based assay services based in San Diego, California, today announced a strategic investment by FUJIFILM Corporation, Tokyo. FUJIFILM Corporation\u2019s Life Sciences Corporate Venture Capital (LS-CVC) strategic investment fund is investing in PhenoVista to accelerate the development of new high-content screening (HCS) assay services using FUJIFILM iCell\u00ae differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and PhenoVista\u2019s cutting-edge imaging technologies.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThis investment builds upon the existing strategic alliance between FUJIFILM Corporation subsidiary, FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc., a leading global developer and manufacturer of human iPSCs, and PhenoVista. FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics aims to further expand its drug-discovery business through this alliance initiated in November 2021 by collaboratively developing high-content, imaging-based assays using human iPSC-derived differentiated cells, which are highly relevant biological systems. These HCS assay services using iPSCs are capable of monitoring complex intracellular functions, such as cell health, mitochondrial health, and synapse formation, in individual human cells that are involved in disease progression, supporting pharmaceutical companies in their drug-discovery processes.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFujifilm\u2019s investment will accelerate an exciting phase of growth for PhenoVista, further solidifying our position as the leader in imaging-based analysis of complex cell models,\u201d said James G. Evans, CEO and co-founder of PhenoVista Biosciences. \u201cThrough this deepening relationship, PhenoVista\u2019s current and future partners and collaborators will have early access to new cell models from Fujifilm, our long-trusted source of validated iPS cell models in the most relevant therapeutic areas, and we will continue to develop new models in both our bespoke and Ready-2-Go service platforms.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFujifilm is committed to solving societal issues through the creation of new values from the alignment with partners that offer technological capabilities for a strategic fit with our life sciences portfolio,\u201d said Takatoshi Ishikawa, general manager of Life Sciences Strategy Headquarters, FUJIFILM Corporation. \u201cThe investment through the LS-CVC fund consolidates the partnership with PhenoVista to accelerate pioneering the field of iPSC-derived services, which helps ensure that more patients get new treatments they need faster.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFujifilm brings a wealth of expertise in imaging to the life sciences arena, and in collaboration with PhenoVista, will continue to help our shared customers with their efficient drug-discovery processes through the combination of highly relevant, human cell types and powerful HCS capabilities and experience,\u201d said Tomoyuki Hasegawa, president and CEO, FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc. \u201cThis investment will continue to support the growth and expansion of our iCell business in addition to our advanced offering of cell applications by growing customer access to HCS assays using our iPSCs.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nLaunched in February 2022, LS-CVC is a newly established group within Fujifilm\u2019s Life Sciences Strategy Headquarters in Tokyo. Fujifilm is initially investing 7B\u00a5 (about 50 million USD) to start the fund, targeting cutting-edge biotechnology primarily through partnerships with early-stage companies around the world.\n<\/p>\n
