ViaCyte, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company based in San Diego, California, that specializes in developing cell replacement therapies for diabetes. The company’s primary product candidates, VC-01 and VC-02, aim to treat type 1 diabetes by implanting pancreatic beta-cell precursors derived from stem cells within an encapsulation device. This innovative approach allows the implanted cells to produce insulin in response to blood glucose levels while minimizing the risk of immune rejection, thereby eliminating the need for immunosuppressants. ViaCyte's goal is to provide a long-term solution that can free both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients from dependence on insulin and reduce associated complications such as hypoglycemia and cardiovascular issues. Founded in 1999, ViaCyte was previously known as Novocell, Inc., and changed its name in 2010. The company also operates an additional facility in Athens, Georgia.
