Oxford Simcell LTD

oxford simcell ltd. is a biotechnology company using a novel inactivation method to manufacture genome-free bacterial cells with broad applications in the healthcare sector. the simcell® technology platform gives us the power to use engineered bacteria in vivo without the possibility of growth, enabling new and effective ways to safeguard human health. simcell® technology was developed at the university of oxford and is exclusively licensed to oxford simcell ltd. please contact us for more information about our platform and its applications. simcells® are genome-free, non-replicating bacteria produced by expressing a homing endonuclease within host cells, which enzymatically cleaves multiple restriction sites within the genome. this process completely halts cell division while preserving other key cellular features, making simcells® useful for in vivo and in vitro applications that would be impossible with dividing cells. existing chemical and irradiative bacterial inactivation tech
