At Cell Origins, we believe discovery is personal. As a boutique contract research organization specializing in peptide and antibody discovery through phage display, we combine world-class scientific expertise with one-on-one collaboration. Every project we take on is a true partnership — tailored to your goals, fueled by precision, and driven by a shared commitment to innovation. With a flexible model and a focus on unmatched quality, we deliver solutions that larger CROs simply can’t replicate.

Cell Origins was founded by scientists trained directly under the pioneers of phage display at the University of Missouri  — where the technology was first developed by George Smith who later received the Nobel prize for his work. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team brings deep expertise, hands-on innovation, and a personal commitment to excellence. We offer more than technical services: we build true partnerships, working closely with each client to tailor discovery strategies that drive real results. At Cell Origins, every project is grounded in innovation  — and in a shared passion for advancing the next generation of peptides and antibodies.

At Cell Origins, we stand behind every discovery. As founders, we personally commit to delivering the highest standards of scientific rigor, innovation, and service. Your success is our mission
