Randolph Corteling's Biography

Randolph Corteling, Head of Research, ReNeuron Ltd.

Randolph started his career as a Research associate at Novartis, before undertaking a PhD in Medical and Surgical Sciences at Nottingham University. He then subsequently spent 3 years as a Heart and Stroke Foundation postdoctoral fellow at the University Calgary, Canada before joining ReNeuron as a senior member of the research team in 2007. During his time at ReNeuron, Randolph has developed a number of new discoveries along with a thorough understanding of stem cell biology leading to his appointment as Head of Cell Biology in 2011 before subsequently being made Head of Research in April 2015.

To ensure the scale required for clinical research and commercialization producer cell immortalization and clonal isolation is a practical strategy to produce consistent, functionally bioactive exosomes for use as therapeutic agents. Immortalization ensures production stability and reduces the need for equivalence testing.

CTX0E03 is a conditionally immortalized human neural stem cell line which has been manufactured to clinical-grade (GMP) standards using a 3-tier banking strategy and is currently in Phase II clinical evaluation for disability after stroke. Using the conditioned media produced during GMP manufacture, we have shown that CTX0E03 is an abundant producer of exosomes which can be readily isolated and purified at scale.

The CTX cell line can also be rapidly and efficiently modified to direct the expression of a variety of cargoes within the secreted EV population, whilst maintaining the key immortalized stem cell characteristics of the parental cell line. The natural tissue tropism of CTX-derived exosomes can then be exploited to deliver loaded cargoes to target cells.
