Cellino Biotech, Inc.

Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling optical bioprocesses in cell manufacturing. A cell manufacturing platform comprises a cell culture cassette supporting a cell culture; an optical engine configured to: capture images of the cell culture; and optically remove cells from the cell culture; and wherein the cell culture cassette remains stationary and the optical engine moves relative to the cell culture cassette to capture the images and to remove cells.

Systems and methods for cell culturing are disclosed herein. A fluidic exchange system for cell culturing comprises a cell culture cassette, comprising: a cell culture chamber having a cell culture and fluid media; and one or more pluggable ports fluidically connected to the cell culture chamber; a fluid media cassette, comprising: one or more liquid storage compartments; and one or more pluggable ports fluidically connected to the one or more liquid storage compartments; and a cassette coupler configured to fluidically couple the cell culture cassette and the fluid media cassette.

A method for cell culture expansion and maintenance, comprising seeding, in a first cell culture cassette, a plurality of cell colonies adhered to a first surface of the first cell culture cassette; capturing, by an optical engine, time-series images of the plurality of cell colonies as the plurality of cell colonies expand; determining, by a platform manager, a subset of cell colonies to remove from the first surface based on the time-series images; removing, by the optical engine, the subset of cell colonies from the first surface; washing, by a fluid management system, the removed subset of cell colonies from the first cell culture cassette; repeating steps for one or more iterations; harvesting a set of remaining cell colonies from the first cell culture cassette; seeding the set of remaining cell colonies into a second cell culture cassette; repeating steps for additional iterations in the second cell culture cassette.

The disclosure relates to growing cells, directing cells to grow into specified cell types, genetically and physically manipulating cells, and addressing one or more individual cells within a mixed cell population. Aspects of the disclosure relate to vectors useful to induce developmental changes in cells, in which those vectors have a temporal component. Vectors of the disclosure encode a controllable, temporal series of events. Once the vectors are delivered into target cells, a series of discrete and different genetic events may be induced. The disclosed methods generally provide for the temporal encoding of multiplex genetic effectors in vector format for cell state transitions.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for monitoring a cell culture, utilizing a predictive model to improve cell culture processes, measuring cell dynamics of a cell culture, managing cell clusters in a cell culture system, and training a machine learning model for managing cell clusters in a cell culture system. In various embodiments, a cell culture may be maintained in a cell culture chamber. The cell culture may comprise one or more cell colonies. One or more properties of the cell culture may be measured. One or more perturbations may be applied to all or a portion of the cell culture. The one or more properties of the cell culture may be measured after applying the one or more perturbations. The one or more properties may be compared before and after the one or more perturbations. The cell culture may be managed based on the comparison.

Systems and methods are disclosed for processes related to cell culture and generation. A system for culturing cells comprises a cell culture container comprising a first surface, the first surface being configured for one or more cell colonies to adhere thereto; an image sensor configured to capture one or more time-series images of a first cell colony in the one or more cell colonies; a computing subsystem configured to iteratively manage a surface area of the first cell colony according to a method comprising: calculating the surface area of the first cell colony as the first cell colony proliferates, selecting a portion of the first cell colony to remove to reduce the surface area of the first cell colony when its surface area is above a predetermined threshold, and removing, using a cell removal tool, the selected portion of the first cell colony from the first surface.

Systems and methods are disclosed for processes related to cell culture and generation. A method of manufacturing gene-edited cells comprises seeding a plurality of gene-edited cells into a cell culture container; culturing, by a cell culture system, the plurality of gene-edited cells into a plurality of gene-edited cell colonies; clonalizing, by the cell culture system, the plurality of gene-edited cell colonies by iterative spatially-selective removal of one or more portions from the plurality of gene-edited cell colonies as the colonies proliferate; tracking, by the cell culture system, one or more characteristics of the plurality of gene-edited clonal cell colonies; maintaining, by the cell culture system, a cell density of the plurality of gene-edited clonal cell colonies based on the tracked characteristics; selecting, by the cell culture system, a first gene-edited clonal cell colony from the plurality of gene-edited clonal cell colonies; removing, by the cell culture system, the plurality of gene-edited clonal cell colonies from the cell culture container except for the first gene-edited clonal cell colony; and expanding, by the cell culture system, the first gene-edited clonal cell colony.

Systems and methods are disclosed for processes related to cell culture and generation. A system for culturing cells comprises a cell culture container comprises a closed cell culture chamber enclosing a fluid media and a first surface configured for a cell culture to adhere thereto; a cell removal tool configured to selectively remove one or more cells from the first surface of the cell culture container; and a controller configured to iteratively remove one or more cells using the cell removal tool and thereby maintain the cell culture below a threshold density throughout a cell culture process, wherein the cell culture chamber is configured to seal during the cell culture process.
