CEO Prof. Alan Trounson will meet with senior biotech executives, business development leaders and investors to discuss the company’s technology and development program.

The BIO International Convention is the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) premier annual event and is the world’s largest industry gathering, which brings together thousands of global biotechnology and pharmaceutical leaders. The four-day, in-person event includes networking, programming and partnering opportunities.

Prof. Trounson will be presenting at 3:45pm on Wednesday 7^th June (EDT). His presentation will detail Cartherics’ pipeline, R&D activities, business objectives, and investment goals – with a view to engaging with potential investors and partners.

“BIO is a special place to present for a biotech company because most of the industry is represented there, with great partnering opportunities and potential investment interests.  It allows us to present our exciting immune therapies developments to the world,” said Prof. Trounson.

About Cartherics

Cartherics is a privately held biotechnology company based in Melbourne, Australia that is rearming the body’s immune system to fight cancer.  It is developing cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer, with a portfolio of CAR-T and CAR-NK cell products.  The Company’s allogeneic (“off-the-shelf”) cell platform is based upon induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from donated cord blood that can be differentiated into NK cells, T cells and other cells of the immune system.  The iPSCs are genetically engineered to provide enhanced function for the derived NK and other immune cells.

The Company is also developing autologous CAR-T cell therapies. These use the patient’s own immune system T cells, which are modified to be effective against the patient’s cancer cells.  CTH-004 is created by genetically modifying patient T cells to insert a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target a marker (TAG-72) on ovarian cancer cells and delete genes that are involved in suppression of T cell function.  https://cartherics.com/
