What OrganaBio does

OrganaBio is a vertically integrated Contract Testing, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CTDMO) for cell and gene therapies, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Miami, Florida. The company supplies GMP-grade starting materials including leukopaks, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), isolated immune cell subsets (CD3+ T cells, CD56+ NK cells, CD19+ B cells, CD14+ monocytes), cord blood-derived products, CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, and mesenchymal stromal cells, sourced from a 1,000+ qualified, recallable donor pool via its wholly-owned FDA-registered subsidiaries HemaCenter (apheresis) and GaiaGift (perinatal tissue). Each donor is screened against 14 infectious disease markers under 21 CFR 1271 and characterized with NGS HLA typing across six genes and KIR genotyping for NK cell therapy programs. Disease-state material from donors with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease supports autoimmune drug discovery and biomarker research.

The company's service portfolio includes cGMP manufacturing in ISO 7 cleanrooms (a 19,000 sq ft flagship facility in Miami and five suites at Excellos Labs in San Diego, acquired in May 2026), clinical cell processing and cryopreservation with 30-minute turnaround and 99.1% reported cell viability across 2,500+ clinical samples, and custom assay development including flow cytometry up to 25 colors, immunophenotyping, cytotoxicity, ADCC, PCR, and endotoxin testing. OrganaBio operates bi-coastally with sites in Miami, Irvine, Hayward, and San Diego, and is expanding to Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, and Nashville.

Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales of cell and tissue products (RUO and cGMP grades from the same donor pool) and professional services including contract manufacturing, clinical sample processing, and analytical testing. Customers comprise top-20 global pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology developers of CAR-T, gene therapy, and advanced immunotherapy programs, and clinical trial sites requiring local sample processing. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The go-to-market relies on regional scientific sales directors covering West Coast and Asia markets, industry conference presence (BIO, ISCT, ISSCR, J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference), and thought-leadership content via the Supply Brain editorial platform.
