Founded in 2004, Cellerix is a biopharmaceutical company that develops innovative treatments based on cell therapy. Cellerix was founded within the Genetrix Group, group of biotechnology companies specialising in biomedicine. The Genetrix Group began its activities in 2001 at the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB), which belongs to the Spanish Research Council (CSIC).
