Gene Edited iMSC

Utilizing highly efficient mRNA-based gene editing, Brooklyn will precisely engineer changes in the genome of iPSC, followed by a thorough characterization of the new cell line. The gene-edited iPSC will then be used to produce iMSC that have been endowed with beneficial properties to broaden and enhance therapeutic uses. Our first gene-edited iMSC product will be used as a cancer immunotherapeutic, taking advantage of the tumor homing properties of MSC and engineering the cells to deliver immune-stimulating proteins to enhance the immune system’s killing of cancer cells.
