LCT focuses on treatments for diseases that
currently have no cure, or are not being well managed. LCT is adopting a
strategy of driving its lead product towards the commercialisation phase.
This market-driven approach means LCT is fully
focused on achieving market returns for its shareholders. LCT maintains its discrete product
development streams to diversify risk and enhance the company’s global market opportunities.

LCT’s Technology:
- LCT’s technology platform involves the implantation of healthy
living cells to replace, repair, or regenerate diseased or
damaged organs.
- LCT’s products are based on living cells that are neither synthetically
produced nor manufactured by genetic manipulation.
- The living cells are covered in a seaweed-derived coating (alginate encapsulation)
to form biocapsules which isolate the transplanted cells from the patient’s immune system
but allows the free passage of small nutrient molecules, oxygen and cell products.
- These biocapsules eliminate the need for toxic immunosuppressant drugs.
- The cell capsules are transplanted into the patient for the release of beneficial
hormones/insulin/clotting factor.
