Company description
Qkine develops substances designed to stimulate cellular growth in regenerative medicine applications.
Qkine uses proprietary protein purification and engineering technology to make the highest recombinant proteins for stem cell research and regenerative medicine applications.
Project impact
The company has operated as a embedded company in Dr Hyvonen's laboratory for the past two years with two full time laboratory staff (one researcher and one research assistant), with Dr Hyvonen as the CSO of the company. The company has launced half a dozen products on the market with steady R&D pipeline expected to result on average one new product per month. The company was awarded an Innovagte UK grant in 2017 for the development of growth factors for organoid research. The company is just finishing its second funding round and expects to move to its own premises in late March/early April and have up to 5 scientific staff by the end of the year. The company is already trading and gaining traction in the market with sales both in UK and worldwide.

Projects
Developing an industry-leading bioactive TGF beta family product portfolio for stem cell culture, cultivated meat, 3D organ modelling, precision oncology and cell therapy manufacturing
15 Apr 2025 to 15 Apr 2027
Qkine combines proprietary animal-free biomanufacturing processes with protein engineering technology. Leveraging our expertise and manufacturing process development platform, we will develop a unique animal-origin-free, high-purity TGF beta family product portfolio to accelerate stem cell science, overcome specific drug discovery barriers, and solve fund...
Fully animal-free manufacture of optimised growth factors: underpinning sustainable and scalable organoid culture for precision medicine, drug discovery and regenerative medicine applications
29 Mar 2021 to 29 Mar 2023
Organoids are 3-dimensional (3D) clusters of stem cells that come together and emulate the microenvironment within individual organs, whether that be liver, kidney, heart, gut or other specific organs. Essentially, they can be viewed as miniature, simplified organs. They typically range in size from a few micrometers to five millimeters and there are pote...
Fully synthetic animal-free scaffolds: the future of sustainable and scalable organoid culture

Next generation growth factors for organoid-driven precision medicine
1 Dec 2017 to 30 Nov 2018
One of the most exciting developments in biological research is the development of miniature three-dimensional structures that mimic mammalian organs such as gut, pancreas, lung and, in the case of cancer, tumours. These so-called organoids allow us to study the structure, development and function of these organs in highly controlled environment and most ...
