Company Description
Orgenesis Inc. (ORGS) is a global biotech company focused on cell and gene therapies (CGTs). The company describes its mission as unlocking the potential of CGTs in order to improve access and outcomes in healthcare. Orgenesis has emphasized this focus since 2012 and, since 2020, has pursued what it calls a decentralized approach to processing, aiming to bring academia, hospitals, and industry together so that advanced therapies can reach larger numbers of patients more cost effectively and with better outcomes through science-driven, decentralized production.
Business focus and decentralized cell processing
According to multiple company updates, Orgenesis centers its activities on a decentralized cell processing model. This model is described as being designed to expedite capacity setup, enhance production efficiency, and reduce treatment costs by enabling production of advanced therapies at or near the point of care. The company highlights its Decentralized Cell Processing (DCP) platform and its POCare platform, as well as its Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (OMPULs), which it characterizes as rapid, standardized industrial cleanroom alternatives that can be deployed and scaled more quickly and at lower cost than traditional centralized production.
Orgenesis reports that this decentralized infrastructure is used both to support partners’ development programs and to advance its own therapeutic pipeline. The company notes that it works with hospitals and research centers through partnerships, joint ventures, and licenses, and that it aims to provide these partners with capacity and capability to provide cell and gene therapy products to patients via decentralized platforms for various indications.
Therapeutic pipeline and CGT technologies
In its business updates, Orgenesis states that it is focusing on advancing its CGTs toward eventual commercialization. The company has discussed an immune-oncology portfolio and has highlighted ORG-101, a CD19 CAR-T therapy for patients with CD19+ Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-cell ALL). Orgenesis reports real-world study data for ORG-101, including complete response rates and incidence of severe Cytokine Release Syndrome, and notes that it is preparing or initiating Phase 1/2 multicenter clinical studies at hospitals in Greece, supported by a grant from Enterprise Greece and with plans to expand within its hospital partnership network.
Orgenesis also reports that it has acquired GMP-validated platforms for producing CAR-T, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, lentivirus vectors, oncolytic virus cell carriers, and therapeutic exosomes. The company states that it intends to utilize this platform to supply its own CAR-T cell products and that these platforms are integrated into its decentralized model. In addition, Orgenesis has described work on technologies for decentralized production of Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) and the development of therapeutic exosomes that can be used for immuno-oncology, gene and cell therapies, and tissue regeneration, supported in part by grants awarded to an Orgenesis consortium.
POCare platform, OMPULs and Octomera
Orgenesis describes its POCare strategy as a point-of-care cell therapy platform and service business. Through its strategic CGT processing subsidiary Octomera, the company reports that it is commercializing its decentralized platform, including OMPULs. OMPULs are described as mobile processing units and labs that provide modular, standardized cleanroom environments at or near the point of care. Orgenesis states that it has regained 100% ownership of Octomera in a strategic transaction, giving it full control over this subsidiary as it rolls out services to global customers and supports development of its own proprietary pipeline.
The company also notes a long-term strategic collaboration under which a partner will manufacture, co-market, distribute, and service OMPULs, with non-dilutive collaboration payments supporting the rollout. Orgenesis indicates that this collaboration is intended to enhance its ability to meet demand for OMPULs and to add a commercial footprint for serving customers that adopt decentralized production models.
Partnerships, grants, and joint ventures
Across its disclosures, Orgenesis emphasizes partnerships with hospitals, research institutions, and industry stakeholders. The company reports a strategic partnership and joint venture with Harley Street Healthcare Group (HSHG), a healthcare provider focused on proactive, personalized, and preventative health and wellness services. Under this agreement, Orgenesis and HSHG plan to form a joint venture in which Orgenesis will hold 49% and HSHG 51%. The joint venture is described as focusing on launching wellness and longevity services and products, including personalized preventative care and regenerative therapies, and on developing a "Health-Wellness-as-a-Service" model that uses Orgenesis’ biotech technologies together with HSHG’s healthcare network.
Orgenesis also reports that HSHG has agreed to invest up to a specified amount over several years into Orgenesis and the joint venture. In addition, the company notes that it or its collaboration partners have been awarded grant funding from governmental and regional bodies, including grants from the Walloon Government in Belgium to advance decentralized ATMP production technologies and therapeutic exosomes, and a grant from Enterprise Greece supporting a CAR-T dedicated OMPUL and clinical study activities.
Financing, capital structure and trading venue
Orgenesis has disclosed various financing arrangements to support its operations and growth plans. The company reports equity investments from accredited investors, including healthcare professionals, and an equity line of credit agreement with Williamsburg Venture Holdings, LLC, a Nevada-based family office. Under that agreement, Orgenesis describes the availability of funding over a defined period, with an initial tranche contingent on an effective registration statement and subsequent draws based on market price formulas.
The company has also reported a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective in late September 2024, intended to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Following the reverse split, Orgenesis stated that its common stock would continue to trade on Nasdaq on a split-adjusted basis under the symbol ORGS. In October 2024, the company announced that its common stock would begin trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol ORGS following a delisting from Nasdaq due to not meeting the required stockholders’ equity threshold. Orgenesis noted that it planned to attempt to resolve the deficiency and reapply for a Nasdaq listing.
In a later Form 8-K, Orgenesis reported that Theracell Laboratories IKE, a subsidiary of Octomera LLC and therefore an indirect subsidiary of Orgenesis, entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with Alpha Prosperity Fund SPC. The filing describes an initial loan, a credit facility, conversion options that could result in the lender holding up to 80% of the share capital of either the company or Theracell (subject to shareholder approvals for share issuance), associated warrants, and the lender’s right, subject to approvals, to appoint members to Orgenesis’ Board of Directors. The agreement is described as including customary covenants and security interests over certain assets.
Regenerative medicine and spinal cord injury technologies
In 2025, Orgenesis announced the acquisition of certain assets from Neurocords LLC related to advanced regenerative medicine therapies for spinal cord injuries. The company states that Neurocords’ technology differentiates induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) into spinal cord neurons and that this technology is intended to be integrated with Orgenesis’ decentralized approach to cell processing. Orgenesis characterizes this as complementary to its existing portfolio of autologous cell therapeutic technologies and notes that it aims to combine the acquired technology with its MIDA Technology, described as AI-based generation of autologous stem cells, to provide an autologous neural cell production platform for spinal cord injury and potentially other indications.
The company highlights that the Neurocords technology is intended to benefit from Orgenesis’ decentralized production model, which is described as designed to expedite capacity setup, enhance production efficiency, and reduce treatment costs so that therapies can reach more patients. Orgenesis also notes that Neurocords has developed a clinical network for spinal cord injury in collaboration with stakeholders such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and others, with the goal of broad patient access to therapies.
