Fat-Stem was founded by dr. Guy Wouters in 2009 to develop stem cell therapies for animals. The main focus is on delivering regenerative products for orthopaedic problems in horses and dogs. Fat-Stem Laboratories conducts research in the therapeutic fields of adipose-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells and was the first biotech company in the European Union offering commercially based stem cell therapies for horses with ligament and/or tendon injuries or horses suffering from osteoarthritis.

Fat-Stem manufactures autologous and allogeneic therapies for horses, cats and dogs. The clinical application of these products are the regeneration of damaged cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
When Fat-Stem started out in 2009 mostly high-value sporting horses were treated with its stem cell products. Currently the broader public has access to the same products and therapies as they became a lot more affordable and more veterinarians gained knowledge on this relatively recent development in veterinary medicine.
