In the area of healthcare, Ricoh focuses on three disciplines: healthcare solutions, medical imaging, and biomedical. Ricoh is focused on addressing social challenges, such as those relating to the disparity in the level of healthcare available in different parts of the world.
#WHAT IS RICOH SCREENINGS SOFTWARE#
Ricoh entered the healthcare market with software and services 12 years ago in order to help address issues arising from an aging society, combined with a corresponding reduction in healthcare expenditure, among other operational efficiencies. In the process of drug discovery, this method using the cell chips will greatly improve the entire drug development process because human diversity is considered in the earliest stage.”
#WHAT IS RICOH SCREENINGS TRIAL#
These cell chips can evaluate the diversity of human responses of chemicals at one time in terms of efficacy and toxicity before moving to the clinical trial stage. By combining the technologies from our two companies, it will be possible to produce disease-specific cell chips derived from multiple iPS cell lines, for example. Nobuhiro Gemma, Fellow, General Manager of HealthCare Business Group, Ricoh Company, Ltd., stated, “We are thrilled to partner with Elixirgen Scientific on this new biomedical development initiative. Ricoh’s bioprinting technology enables precise control of the number and placement of cells using its inkjet head technology, which has been perfected over the last 40 years. As differentiated cells manufactured in this process have functions close to mature cells 6, those cells show phenotypes specific to that disease very well. It is expected that disease specific iPS cells, which means iPS cells derived from patients with that disease, can be used as a disease model for drug screening. As part of the agreement, Ricoh will acquire a 34.5 percent stake in Elixirgen Scientific and launch a biomedical business in North America this year.Įlixirgen Scientific owns Quick-Tissue™ technology 4 that can induce iPS cells and embryonic stem cells 5 to various types of cells directly, and this technology achieves highly efficient and homogeneous cell differentiation within just 10 days. Together the two companies will support drug discovery through the manufacture and delivery of cells differentiated from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells 2, cell chips 3 seeded with precisely differentiated cells, and evaluation services for drug responses. Ricoh and Elixirgen Scientific plan to grow this biomedical business into a 20-billion-yen ($1.86 billion) business by 2025.
