GC Therapeutics is using synthetic biology to program patients' cells into any cell type. Engineering the identity of a cell has a lot of potential as a new therapeutic modality as well as for cell therapies, transplants and testing new drugs. GCTx’s approach involves reprogramming patient-derived stem cells to make various cell types by discovering novel cell-differentiation recipes. The aim is to make this approach both efficient and scalable by dictating cell fates in a single step. In addition, GCTx is developing SuperCellsTM by tailoring cells for specific diseases.

Thrilled to have attended BioFuture for the third consecutive year! Last week, at the Cure. in New York City, #BioFuture 2024 gathered a remarkable community of trailblazers, disruptors, and investors from across the healthcare ecosystem to discuss the future of healthcare innovation.

The conference spotlighted impactful discussions on AI/ML, quantum computing, policy advancements, neuroscience, oncology, obesity treatments, longevity, biomanufacturing, cell and gene therapy, cardiovascular health, women’s health, and financing strategies. We explored the convergence of deep tech and deep science in drug discovery & development, diving into the forefront of healthcare transformation.

It was also the perfect opportunity to reconnect with fellow investors, founders, and ecosystem partners. Great to finally meet Parastoo Khoshakhlagh, Ph.D. in person and catch up with Tingting Zhang-Kharas, PhD, Silvia Garcia Codony, and Lynda Chin.

A huge thanks to Sara Jane Demy and Demy-Colton for organizing such an inspiring event. Already looking forward to BioFuture 2025!
