Cambridge, UK, 17 July 2019: Mogrify Ltd (Mogrify®), a company aiming to transform the future development of cell therapies, today announced it will host a careers day at the Bio-Innovation Centre, 25 Cambridge Science Park on Friday, 16th August 2019 from 4–6pm. The event will showcase careers in the biotech industry, specifically in cell therapy and regenerative medicine, and offer attendees the opportunity to visit the Company’s research laboratories, and meet with the founders and current employees.
Mogrify has developed a proprietary direct cellular conversion technology, which makes it possible to transform any mature cell type into any other, bypassing the pluripotent stem cell- or progenitor cell-state. Mogrify’s platform simultaneously addresses the challenges associated with efficacy, safety and scalability in the development and manufacture of lifesaving cell therapies.
Mogrify’s CEO, Dr. Darrin M. Disley, OBE, a renowned scientist, entrepreneur, angel investor and enterprise champion who has started, grown or invested in over 40 start-up life science, technology and social enterprises will provide the opening remarks and introduction at the careers open day. Mogrify’s scientific co-founders; CSO, Professor Julian Gough, a bioinformatician and biotech entrepreneur; CTO, Assistant Professor Owen Rackham, a leading academic in the application of machine learning and complex systems in cell reprograming; and CMO, Professor Jose Polo who has worked at the cuttingedge of cell reprograming for over a decade, will also give short presentations.
Dr. Darrin M. Disley, OBE, CEO, Mogrify, said: “Mogrify offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of cell reprograming.

About Mogrify www.mogrify.co.uk
Mogrify has developed a proprietary direct cellular conversion technology, which makes it possible to transform (transmogrify) any mature human cell type into any other without going through a pluripotent stem cell- or progenitor cell-state.
The platform takes a systematic big-data approach to identify, from next-generation sequencing and
gene-regulatory networks, the transcription factors (in vitro) or small molecules (in vivo), needed to convert a cell. By bypassing the stem cell-stage of cell transformation, Mogrify simultaneously addresses challenges associated with efficacy, safety and scalability.
Mogrify is applying its patented technology to generate IP and cell types that will power the development and manufacture of new cell therapies across every therapeutic area.
Uniquely positioned to address a cell therapy market estimated to be $35 billion USD by 2023, Mogrify is commercializing its technology via IP licensing, product development, and drug development. Based in Cambridge, UK, the Company has raised $3.7 million USD seed funding from Ahren Innovation Capital, 24Haymarket and Dr Darrin M Disley, OBE.
