Glycosan BioSystems, a privately held life-sciences technology company, is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, where the company was founded by Glenn Prestwich, William Tew, and Anna Scott in January 2006. The company received startup support from the Centers of Excellence Program for innovative research in Utah and from the University of Utah, then closed its first round of investment in May 2007. Glycosan’s patent-pending Extracel? technology was developed by the Center for Therapeutic Biomaterials at the University of Utah. Glycosan is located in Research Park adjacent to the university.

Intellectual Property
Glycosan BioSystems holds exclusive worldwide rights to a patent estate, which was licensed from the University of Utah Research Foundation with broad claims to product chemical composition, method of crosslinking, method of preparation, and use of the synthetic extracellular matrix (sECM).

The exclusive sECM technology behind Glycosan’s Extracel? product line makes several specific applications possible, including:

in vitro three-dimensional cell culture
in vitro and in vivo animal models to screen for drug efficacy, safety, and toxicology
reagents for tissue and cell preservation
personal-care products
Glycosan also holds a co-exclusive license for tissue engineering and cell-therapy applications of Extracel?.
