About:
NKGen Biotech is harnessing the power of the immune system to fight diseases. Their treatments target natural killer (NK) cells in order to enhance the patient’s immune system for effective targeting and elimination of abnormal cells. NK cells release toxic substances such as perforin or granzymes to cause death of abnormal cells. Decreased activity in NK cells occurs with aging and can contribute to both neurodegenerative and oncological conditions. NKGen is developing and commercializing innovative NK cell therapies, using autologous, allogeneic, and CAR-NK approaches. Their goals are to improve patient lives through safe and natural cell therapy treatments and become a global leader in immune cell therapeutics. Their US headquarters is a state-of-the-art cGMP manufacturing facility.
