- Presentations will include latest data from Factor's allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy programs
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 6, 2025 -- Factor Bioscience Inc., a Cambridge-based biotechnology company focused on using its pioneering gene-editing platform to develop life-saving cell and gene therapies, today announced its participation in the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 28th Annual Meeting to be held in New Orleans, LA from May 13-17, 2025. Factor will deliver four presentations covering the latest preclinical data from Factor's allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy programs, as well as recent advances in Factor's nucleic acid delivery and cell differentiation platforms.
"The data include non-viral transgene insertion for next-generation allogeneic CAR-T."
"We are excited to present the latest data from our allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy programs, as well as recent advances in our nucleic acid delivery and cell differentiation platforms at ASGCT 2025," said Dr. Matt Angel, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Factor. "The data that we will be showcasing next week include non-viral transgene insertion for next-generation allogeneic CAR-T and other cell and gene therapy applications. These results represent major milestones in our mission to promote health and improve lives using breakthrough cell engineering technologies."
Dr. Kyle Garland, Director of Translational Science at Factor, commented, "This past year, we have made substantial progress advancing our pipeline programs by strategically applying and optimizing the technologies that Factor has developed over the past fourteen years. Accordingly, we are eager to communicate our latest results at the ASGCT Annual Meeting."
