Co-op, External Manufacturing

We create shielded stem cell transplants that enable targeted therapies to attack only cancer cells

Every year, thousands of patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and other blood cancers relapse post-transplant with no safe and effective treatment options. Vor Bio’s approach provides the first opportunity to deliver potentially curative treatments post-transplant.

Our novel platform creates a shielded stem cell transplant that is designed to enable multiple modalities and therapies, including Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells, which could potentially be effective against the tumor, but are toxic to normal cells. Vor’s genetically engineered transplant provides a protective shield to the healthy cells and thereby allows the cancer cells to be specifically targeted for destruction.

By shielding healthy cells, Vor Bio is aiming to potentially cure Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and other blood cancers. Come be a part of a passionate team striving to collaboratively develop a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment, one of medicine’s greatest challenges.
