About:

ArsenalBio is developing programmable immune cell therapies to defeat cancer. CAR T-cell therapies are a recent revelation in developing targeted immune therapies for cancer. However, they have high risk and are high cost for development. Using multi-omics, gene editing technology and synthetic biology, ArsenalBio’s cell therapeutics are optimized for expansion, memory and persistence in vivo to reduce the number of cell infusions and minimize off-target effects. ArsenalBio is therefore enhancing the safety, efficacy and availability of these cell therapies for cancer patients. ArsenalBio has a multi program discovery collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb to advance T cell therapies for solid tumors.
