From cells to people.
Developing the path from pioneering cellular research to human applications of partial reprogramming.

199 is a biotechnology company built on pioneering work in partial reprogramming.
We are building on that foundation to change how we approach aging and disease. Our next chapter brings together human application and a commitment to making advanced therapies accessible to more people.
Our storyOur next programmes are taking shape in stealth. Two ambitions guide the work.
Developing the path from pioneering cellular research to human applications of partial reprogramming.
Democratising partial reprogramming and gene therapies, with access built into our thinking from the start.
Reprogramming is our foundation. A wider body of work informs how we think about healthier, longer lives.

199 began with a conviction: partial reprogramming could open a new chapter in how we approach aging and disease.
Founded by Boris Djordjevic, we carry that conviction into our work today: advancing the science toward human application and democratising access to reprogramming and gene therapies.
We work closely with Triple Helix and Dr. Patrick Sewell as we pursue the next chapter in reprogramming and gene therapies.
