Slingshot Biosciences

At Slingshot Biosciences, we are at the forefront of a technological revolution, fundamentally transforming cell-based applications through our pioneering work in precision-engineered cell mimics. Through groundbreaking technology, we are revolutionizing diagnostics, drug discovery, and cell therapy manufacturing at Slingshot Biosciences. Our innovative platform addresses the long-standing challenges of inconsistency, scalability, and sourcing associated with traditional biological controls. By harnessing the power of high-precision manufacturing, engineering, and polymer chemistry, we have developed synthetic cells that meticulously replicate the optical, fluorescent, and biochemical properties of real cells. This breakthrough technology, embodied in our TruCytes™, SpectraComp®, ViaComp®, and FlowCytes® product lines, provides researchers and clinicians with an unprecedented level of control, reproducibility, and accuracy in their work. Our cell mimics are shelf-stable and can be manufactured on demand at any scale, eliminating the logistical and ethical complexities of using live cells and empowering scientists to accelerate their research and development timelines.

Our vision extends beyond simply replacing existing controls; we aim to unlock new possibilities in human health. By providing a reliable and customizable standard, we enable the development of more robust and accurate diagnostic assays, facilitate the validation of cutting-edge cell therapies like CAR-T, and streamline quality control in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. This commitment to innovation is driven by our ultimate goal of making healthcare more accessible and effective worldwide. We are empowering our partners in clinical trials and diagnostic markets to achieve harmonized, reliable data across multiple sites and over time, which is critical for advancing precision medicine. Slingshot Biosciences is not just creating products; we are building a new paradigm for cell-based science, one where the limitations of biology are overcome by the power of engineering, paving the way for the next generation of medical breakthroughs and improving patient outcomes globally.
