I founded CDI based on my desire to make stem cells and human tissue cells widely available in the quantity, quality and purity to enable researchers around the world to accelerate their discoveries in human health and biological research.

"CDI continues to maintain its leadership with the highest-level of funding in this new industry," said Robert Palay, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have strong demand from pharmaceutical companies for our fully functional, live human cells derived from iPSCs, because the high quantity, quality and purity of our cells result in more accurate preclinical drug testing and effective research."

"Prior to our iCell product introduction, our pharmaceutical and research customers could test new drugs and conduct research only on human tissue cells from cadavers, cells derived from tumors or animal cells," said Chris Parker, Chief Commercial Officer of CDI. "None of these cell models accurately mirrors what happens in a live human body. iCell products improve the efficiency and effectiveness of drug discovery and safety testing by enabling in vitro clinical trials on fully functional human cells before drugs are tested on humans."

Palay concluded, "CDI remains committed to offer the broadest array of iPSC-based products in the purest forms and largest quantities available in the market, to allow our customers to speed their discovery of safer more effective drugs and to make advances in other scientific research.
