RepliCel Life Sciences is a Canadian regenerative medicine company based in Vancouver, British Columbia. [1] The company focuses on development of cell therapies using a patient's own cells (autologous cell therapy). [1] The company has treatment development activities targeting chronic tendon injuries which have failed to heal properly, [3] and hair restoration. [2] The company's expertise lies in isolation and exploitation of different cell populations found in the human hair follicle. [1]

The company's business model is focused on establishing proof-of-concept for treatments leading to acquisition by a larger company. [2] An alternative business model has been reported which does not involve acquisition but rather partnership where technologies and methods are licensed to a partner which will commercialize them. [1]
