A new Hawaii company hopes to make the blind see.
Cellular Bioengineering Inc., a biotech startup focused on regenerative medicine, has applied for patents on its proprietary bioengineering of replacement parts for aging, diseased or damaged tissues and organs.
The work the company is doing at its nondescript laboratory in Moiliili has the potential to revolutionize the way organs are replaced and create a life-sciences powerhouse in Honolulu.
In many ways, Cellular Bioengineer-ing is a nearly perfect model for those promoting Hawaii’s economic diversification. The company could develop its technology anywhere, but chose Hawaii not only because of its proximity to Asian markets but also because half of its employees are kamaaina who received advanced degrees and came home from the Mainland.
