Vor Bio to Present at B. Riley Securities’ 3rd Annual Oncology Conference

vor biopharma is pioneering engineered hematopoietic stem cells (ehscs) to dramatically change the treatment paradigm for hematological cancers. vor’s ehscs are designed to generate healthy, fully functional cells with specific advantageous modifications, for example to protect the blood and bone marrow from the toxic effects of antigen-targeted therapies, protecting healthy cells from depletion but leaving tumor cells vulnerable. vor’s platform could potentially be used to change the treatment paradigm of both hematopoietic stem cell transplants and antigen-targeted therapies such as antibody drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies and car-t cell treatments. a proof-of-concept study for vor’s lead program has been published in proceedings of the national academy of sciences. vor is based in cambridge, mass. and has a broad intellectual property base including in-licenses from columbia university, where foundational work was conducted by inventor and vor scientific board chair siddhar
