Early-stage development
CGT Catapult has a range of capabilities focused on supporting researchers, start-ups and early-stage companies to rapidly progress their products toward the clinic, help support securing investment and growth of their companies:
Commercialisation of Research
The Commercialisation of Research (CoR) programme is dedicated to supporting academic researchers to transition their cell and gene therapy concepts in to investable opportunities and establish start-up companies by securing commercial investment from investors such as venture capitalists.
Using an “in-kind” funding model, the CoR team can provide scientific, technical, commercial, regulatory and medical expertise to mitigate potential risks in therapeutic product development programmes. In addition, the CoR team supports development of business strategies, pitch decks and facilitates introductions to key investors.
We often start with an Investable Opportunity Clinic, where academic groups are provided with translational advice on diverse aspects of cell and gene therapy commercialisation. Dependent upon the capabilities available in partner organisations, the CoR team develops tailor-made support packages to progress collaborators from exciting academic projects to credible commercial opportunities, with the potential to make a meaningful difference to the lives of patients and their families.

Non-clinical support
We strive to help academics, start-ups, and therapy developers with bespoke strategies to ensure effective translation of novel therapies through the non-clinical phases towards clinical trials.
