CellPhire: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Cellphire has developed a proprietary method for the stabilization of blood in the dry state Current efforts and product development are aimed toward stabilized platelets for advanced wound care, transfusion, and reagent products for clinical and research diagnostics. We have been able to stabilize and modify platelets into a hemostatic agent that can be stored well beyond the current limit of 5 days. Platelets cannot be stockpiled and shortages occur because of this extremely short shelf life. These shortages can interrupt the treatment of cancer patients and actively bleeding surgical or trauma patients. The fragility of the national supply of platelets is a topic of discussion of several task forces and agencies planning the nation's response to a pandemic such as avian influenza. This and other natural or manmade disasters would interrupt or exceed the available supply of platelets that is needed to maintain an adequate supply or treat bleeding casualties.

About FundedIQ's CellPhire Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for CellPhire is left off this page rather than filled in.
