Job Details
We engineer stem cell transplants that shield healthy cells from targeted therapies
Targeted therapies work by attacking cells that express particular proteins on their surface. Unfortunately, both diseased and healthy cells often express the same proteins, resulting in collateral damage to healthy cells.
At Vor Bio, we engineer hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to lack a biologically redundant target protein, then transplant these cells into the patient.
These eHSCs give rise to generations of new healthy blood cells that are effectively shielded from targeted therapies so that only the remaining cancer cells are killed. We are also developing our own CAR-T cell therapy using T cells from the same healthy donor who could potentially provide HSCs for our shielded stem cell transplant and thereby, avoid issues of donor-mismatch. We believe our CAR-T cell therapy may enable more potent and durable responses post-transplant.
Vor Bio is aiming to cure blood cancers through our novel platform combining HSC biology, genome engineering, and targeted therapies to unlock treatment options previously unavailable to patients. Come be a part of a passionate team striving to collaboratively develop a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment, one of medicine's greatest challenges.
