The mission of FUJIFILM Cellular Dynamics, Inc. (FCDI)
is to provide access to biologically relevant and predictive
human biology. Toward this end, FCDI has pioneered
the industrial manufacture of induced pluripotent stem
(iPS) cells, which are derived from non-embryonic human
tissue cells (e.g. skin, blood) and have the potential
to differentiate into any cell type in the human body,
including heart, muscle, and brain. Importantly, iPS cells
and the cells differentiated from them can be generated
from any individual or cohort of individuals representing
specific genetic profiles or disease states. These cells
retain the donor’s unique genetic profile, including any
disease-associated mutations or polymorphisms. FCDI’s
human cells are rapidly being adopted for use in disease
research, drug development, and preclinical studies
aimed at developing cell-based therapeutics for human
genetic and degenerative disease.
p True Human Biology in a Dish iPS cell technology provides unprecedented access to personalized human biology, enabling powerful new strategies for disease research, drug development, and cell-based therapeutics.

FCDI: Providing True Biology in a DishHuman^
-
Human cells: Cells are differentiated from human iPS cells and exhibit expected characteristics and functions.
Homogenous and reproducible: Cells are highly pure, providing biologically relevant and reproducible results.
Acute and long-term testing: Cells remain viable and pure in culture for weeks, enabling assessment of both acute and sub-chronic responses.
Easy to implement: Cells are shipped cryopreserved and usually with cell culture media formulated for optimal cell performance. Simply thaw and use.
Peer reviewed: Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic scientists have published 40+ articles on how FCDI products enable their research. Visit the FCDI website for the most current list of articles.
Advantages
Products
Since its inception in 2004, FCDI has developed and launched a suite of products that
include iPS cell-derived differentiated cells representing “typical” human biology (iCell®
products), as well as individuals representing specific disease states (MyCell® Products).
Our iCell products include human cells of the cardiac (heart), neural (brain), hepatic
(liver), musculoskeletal (muscle, bone), and hematopoietic (blood) lineages. FCDI’s
MyCell Products enable custom iPS cell generation, genetic engineering, and
differentiation from customer-defined donor samples representing specific disease states
or genetic profiles.
FCDI’s iCell and MyCell products overcome many of the limitations of existing cell
models, including the lack of relevant human biology, low reproducibility, and lack of
availability. Because of these limitations, FCDI’s products are rapidly being adopted
by researchers in government and academic research institutes, biopharmaceutical
companies, and non-profit disease foundations. In the last 2 - 3 years, FCDI’s iPS cell-
derived products have been cited in over 40 peer-reviewed publications in which the
cells have been used to accelerate disease research, drug discovery, and safety testing.
In addition, FCDI’s products are being used in preclinical studies toward the design,
development, and manufacture of cell-based therapeutics.

Working with FCDI
FCDI: Your Provider of iPS Cell-derived CellsFCDI’s iCell and MyCell products are shipped worldwide as vials of cryopreserved human cells, which are then
thawed, plated, and assayed in the customer’s laboratory. To ensure success, FCDI provides protocols, “how
to” videos, remote and on-site technical support, and iCertification training courses. FCDI’s differentiated cell
products have been used and published on for basic and clinical research, drug development (including high-
throughput drug screening), and safety testing.
FCDI: Your Colleague in Developing AssaysFCDI has a dedicated team of scientists and a state-of-the-art applications lab, outfitted with cell analysis
platforms commonly used in research and drug screening, for the sole purpose of developing applications and
protocols to support customers’ needs. In addition, FCDI has established relationships with many platform
providers and contract research organizations to facilitate access to the latest technology and services.
Customers are encouraged to engage in conversation with our scientists to discuss specific applications,
review data, and share insight regarding the use of iPS cell technology.
FCDI: Your Partner in Making Disease Models Widely AvailableFCDI is actively engaged in partnerships with funding organizations, disease foundations, and research
institutes to create novel, disease-relevant cell models and make them widely accessible to academic and
pharmaceutical researchers. Specifically, FCDI offers support in identifying and accessing donor samples,
guidance in experimental design, and assistance in making these resources broadly available through FCDI or
various biobanks with whom FCDI has existing relationships.
p FCDI Process for Enabling Disease Research FCDI has an established process to enable funding organizations, disease foundations, and research institutes to develop and distribute novel, disease-relevant cell models to the scientific community.
FCDI helps partners to
identify and accessdonor samples.
