Cebiotex is an innovative biotechnology startup, spin-off of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – UPC) and the Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital (HSJD).
We investigate and develop biomedical solutions with the objective of addressing unmet medical needs in both paediatric and adult oncology.
The Cebiotex project started when 6-year-old Sara passed away after 4 years fighting child cancer. The feeling of helplessness motivated the founder Joan Bertran to investigate and develop new biomaterials that could bring medical solutions to paediatric and adult oncology, expanding to the health sector.
After three years of combined scientific work, Cebiotex was constituted in 2012 as a result of the interaction between researchers from the UPC and the HSJD. Our spin-off started its activity after closing the first funding round in 2015.
Our current mission is to provide solutions to patients with cancer, both paediatric and adult. Our future perspective is to also provide solutions to patients who suffer from infections or who need advanced therapies for marrow and cartilage regeneration, marrow injuries, etc.
Our first drug, CEB-01, meets an oncological and surgical need that has not yet been met by helping surgeons in their oncological surgical interventions.
Our objective is for CEB-01 to become part of the Standard of Care in oncological surgery.
We are working on the development of the drug CEB-01 with the objective of meeting unmet medical needs in oncology, and ensure surgeons and patients that the surgical site is free from cancerous cells.
Cebiotex is formed by a multidisciplinary team of expert professionals which includes founders, pharmaceutical regulatory advisors, business developers, finance and communications experts, and a scientific committee that advises on the project’s Clinical Phase.
