THE PROBLEM
The body´s most regenerative tissue is the one we discard
Bone Marrow
Invasive extraction procedures carry significant risks, including infection and prolonged recovery times.
400+
Adipose Tissue
Surgical liposuction is a major procedure that requires general anesthesia and a lengthy healing process.
Times the endometrium rebuilds itselfin a woman´s reproductive life - the most actively regenerating tissue in the human body
Umbilical Cord
Collection is only possible once, at birth, leaving no opportunity for future replenishment or renewal.
And every cycle of it si thrown away.
THE SCIENCE
A cell source with no equivalent in adult tissue
~20h
Doubling time
Twice the rate of bone marrow cells, enabling rapid regeneration and high-potential therapeutic applications.
Renewable collection
Monthly
A non-invasive, monthly renewal process that provides a continuous, high-quality source of biological material.
First characterised
Scientifically validated since 2007, with a robust clinical history of efficacy and safety in global research.
Zero
Ethical complexity
Derived exclusively from menstrual blood, CEIBA preserves cells without embryonic material, aligning with Islamic bioethics.

2007
Licensed preservation. Never ahead of the regulation.
Phase one: The biobank
- Non-invasive collection
- GMP cryopreservation via licensed Abu Dhabi lab partner
- Enrolment + annual storage subscription
Phase two: Research readiness
- Regulatory-gated preservation
- Client holds banked cells as clinical therapies advance
CEIBA makes no therapeutic claims. We market preservation, not treatment, and no service will launch ahead of its licence.
A proven model applied to a renewable source
The analog
Private cord blood banking is a proven multi-billion-dollar industry, demonstrating the global demand for high-quality, cryopreserved stem cells.
The structural edge
Cord blood is a one-time-only window. CEIBA offers a renewable monthly collection, ensuring continuous access to a powerful biological resource.
Beachhead
High-income women 25-45 in Abu Dhabi and Dubai represent the primary target market for a premium, non-invasive longevity biobank service.
Market two
Expansion into Mexico via the founder's existing operations, leveraging a proven model to reach a broader regional audience with high biological value.
The region built the ecosystem. It needs this layer.
Abu Dhabi has established a robust regulatory framework through the Department of Health, setting the gold standard for cellular therapy infrastructure. This ensures that CEIBA operates within a transparent, internationally accredited environment.
Our licensed preservation service is anchored in the region's advanced medical ecosystem. By leveraging Abu Dhabi's globally recognized standards, we provide a secure and sophisticated biobanking solution for women's longevity.
Her cells. Her future.
Named for the ceiba — the tree of life.
