2020 – Pandemic does not stop Bioceltix development
Bioceltix is involved in veterinary medicine and develops innovative biological medicines for the treatment of animal diseases, including for horses or dogs. The company is working on innovative therapies to treat diseases such as arthritis and atopic dermatitis. The company received a grant from the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) in 2019, we wrote more about this here.
What’s more, Bioceltix in September 2020 passed the audit of the General Inspectorate of Pharmaceuticals (GIF) and after completing official procedures in October was registered as a manufacturer of veterinary biological drugs. Because, the isolated technological line for aseptic production of veterinary biological drugs based on stem cells in the cGMP standard passed the tests. Thus, Bioceltix has become one of the few certified pharmaceutical companies in the world that have been adapted to produce biological drugs for animals using stem cells as an active substance.
