Lineage Cell Therapeutics: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

Lineage Cell Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel cellular therapies to treat unmet medical needs. The company is focused on developing new therapeutics for age-related degenerative disease. BioTime and its subsidiaries are developing OpRegen® (a cell-based therapy for age-related macular degeneration), therapies for cancer, and arthritis, respectively. Our subsidiary ReCyte Therapeutics is using proprietary technology to reverse the developmental aging of human cells to manufacture young vascular progenitors for the treatment of age-related vascular disease. Relatively near-term product development by BioTime and its subsidiaries include Renevia, a patented hyaluronan-based hydrogel device for cell delivery; PanC-Dx, a blood-based pan-cancer screening diagnostic; and re-starting the embryonic stem cell-based clinical trial for spinal cord injury that was originally begun by Geron, using the stem cell assets acquired from them in 2013. BioTime also markets an FDA-approved blood plasma expander called Hextend®, which is currently marketed in collaboration with Hospira.

About FundedIQ's Lineage Cell Therapeutics 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 Lineage Cell Therapeutics is left off this page rather than filled in.
