They have demonstrated that its possible to safely administer a highly effective CD45 ADC to eliminate aggressive leukemia cells in mice, while preserving hematopoiesis through the administration of CD45 epitope shielded HSCs.

This therapy has the potential to be a universal treatment for patients with blood cancers, and significantly improve the outcomes for those hardest to treat forms such as AML.

This program serves as the basis for a novel treatment approach for patients with T cell malignancies, and aiding in improving the durability of allogeneic CAR T cells.

In the second, we demonstrate how our epitope edited CD33 HSCs are shielded from CD33 directed immunotherapy depletion. CD33 represents the fourth target we have epitope edited to prevent paired immunotherapy depletion while maintaining its function.

Today we announced a collaboration with Saar Gill and @carlhjune at @PennMedicine to develop and test a CD45 CAR T cell that pairs with our CD45 shielded HSCs. This ‘Universal CAR T’ could be used to treat any type of blood cancer or autoimmune disease. cimeio.com/2023/10/16/cimeio…

Our in vivo data showed efficient engraftment and differentiation of our engineered CD45 engineered HSCs, as well as shielding and strong enrichment in combination with our CD45 immunotherapy.

This program could serve as a universal approach to reset the hematopoietic system for hematologic malignancies or severe autoimmune diseases.

A hearty congratulations to Jeff for this well deserved recognition! xitter.cf/AtUcsf/status/16535013…
Founding Director and Professor Emeritus Jeff Bluestone has been elected into the National Academy of Sciences @theNASciences a testament to the major contributions to the fields of immunology and diabetes that he has made over his career

Excited to announce that we've been granted broad IP that covers the shielding of cells from immunotherapy depletion. This foundational IP protects our SCIP platform and enables us to develop curative therapies for patients with life threatening diseases cimeio.com/2022/11/28/cimeio…

We're very pleased to present the first data for our SCIP (Shielded Cell & Immunotherapy Pairs) platform at #ASH2022. Two abstracts covering our CD117 and CD123 programs demonstrate POC in vivo and serve as the basis for a broad development pipeline. cimeio.com/2022/11/03/cimeio…
