History

iPS Portal Inc. began operations in September 2014, following the transfer of non-patent related operations of iPS Academia Japan, Inc. At the time of its establishment, iPS Portal Inc. focused on contract testing of iPS cells in efforts to promote the broad use of iPS cell technology. We also provide support for start-up companies related to Cell-Technology, and have been involved in the establishment and operation of Raymei, Inc., a corneal regenerative medicine company since 2016 and Houjou, Inc., a company that aims to protect endangered species and to commercialize fertility treatments since 2020. In January 2021, we moved our headquarters and laboratory to a new location, marking the next stage of our business.We will continue to contribute to the development of the life science field by supporting iPS cells and other Cell-Technology-based research and business from both technology and business perspectives, and by providing higher value-added services.
