Overview
Genetic blood disorders can be caused by mutations in genes that are important for normal blood cell function.
Our scientists developed a method for treating genetic blood disorders by engineering pluripotent stem cells to create cell therapies that can restore the function of the hematopoietic system.
Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Therapies for the Treatment of Genetic Blood Disorders is protected by a pending U.S. patent (with additional patents pending in other countries).
Example Applications
- Replace lost or damaged cells following immune cell depletion treatment
- Develop a single product that can treat genetic blood diseases with a single administration and independent of specific disease-causing mutations
- Gene edit somatic cells to avoid the risk of germline transmission
- Combine with Factor’s Combined mRNA Cell Reprogramming & Gene Editing for streamlined manufacturing
- Combine with Factor’s Gene-Edited Allogeneic Cell Therapies Technology to create “off-the-shelf” therapies
