Israeli start-up Gamida Cell Ltd. and NovaThera Ltd. of the UK have signed a cooperation agreement for the development of cell therapeutic treatments for lung repair and regeneration. The companies will pool technology and expertise and work together with the clinical team at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge towards advancing cell therapy approaches for treating lung disease.

Gamida Cell CEO Dr. Yael Margolin said, “This collaboration is in line with our strategy to partner with selected companies focused on developing therapeutics for life threatening illnesses and to help bring these products to market.”

NovaThera, owned by London’s Imperial College, specializes in pioneering applications of biomaterials and stem cell biology for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering to provide innovative therapeutic solutions. Gamida Cell develops therapeutics using proprietary technologies that expand populations of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells such as those derived from cord blood (not the controversial embryonic stem cells), for the treatment of hematological diseases as well as for tissue regeneration applications.
