Pluri CEO Yaky Yanay on pioneering cell-tech solutions for global needs
Pluri Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUR) CEO Yaky Yanay joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with more about the company’s progress in developing and commercializing its cell-based technology platform, highlighting recent partnerships, strategic financing, and future milestones.
Pluri is a biotechnology company focused on manufacturing products derived from cells—including human, animal, and plant cells—for applications across industries such as healthcare, food, and agriculture. "We are taking this tiny organism, cells... and we create products out of them," Yanay explained.
A key highlight was Pluri’s collaboration with Hemafund in Ukraine to enhance the country’s preparedness for radiation emergencies. Yanay detailed the use of PLX-R18, a placenta-based therapeutic developed with US federal agencies, which has shown potential to significantly improve survival rates following radiation exposure.
The discussion also covered Pluri’s recent financing activities, including a $10 million raise and the acquisition of cacao company Kokomodo. These moves are part of Pluri’s broader expansion into the food sector, addressing shortages in coffee and cacao through cell cultivation in bioreactors.
Looking ahead, Yanay emphasized a strong pipeline of deals for 2025, with a focus on sustainable, cell-based solutions for some of humanity’s biggest needs.
