Recently, I had the honor of interviewing Robin Smith, CEO of ORIG3N, a company which has created the world’s largest blood cell repository. ORIG3N is using these blood cells to produce patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), allowing the cells to be ever-renewing and giving rise to a living database of humanity known as LifeCapsule.

The company also has two other business segments, called LifeProfile and LifeSystems. In this interview, we explore the beginnings of ORIG3N, as well as its creation of the world’s largest blood cell repository, genetic testing business, and future trajectory as a company. ¹⁾
