About:

Artiva Biotherapeutics is developing immune cell therapies to treat cancer. Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune system that are the first line of defense for the recognition and destruction of cancerous cells. Artiva is engineering NK cells using their AlloNKTM platform to enhance their targeting and activity. Specifically, Artiva is focused on generating off-the-shelf, allogeneic NK cell therapies with improved performance to treat hematologic cancers or solid tumors. The platform is designed to deliver scalability, quality and cryopreservation to support their mission of creating a pipeline of safe, effective, versatile and accessible products. Artiva’s lead program is in Phase 1 trials for B-cell malignancies.
