Celltran and XCELLentis Complete Merger

       Celltran Limited (Sheffield, United Kingdom) and Innogenetics (Gent, Belgium) are pleased to announce that Celltran has successfully completed its merger with XCELLentis, a subsidiary of Innogenetics, an international biopharmaceutical company. Through the transaction, Celltran has acquired the assets of XCELLentis and Innogenetics has received shares and warrants in the capital of Celltran that will ultimately lead to Innogenetics owning a 51% stake in Celltran.
       Celltran is a UK biotechnology company specializing in developing autologous cell therapy products and services to heal wounds. Lyphoderm™, which will shortly enter Phase 3 clinical trials, consists of freeze-dried skin cells of allogeneic (donor-derived) origin with enhanced storage, shelf life, and easy application properties. Two additional therapies from XCELLentis are close to obtaining marketing approval.
       The combination of an experienced management team together with a portfolio comprising marketed and late development stage products positions Celltran to effectively target the rapidly growing active therapy sector of wound care that is estimated to be worth £4 billion per year worldwide and to seek additional financing to support the company’s growth plans.
