Job Description
Cell and gene therapy promises to one day cure any disease; Modulari-T’s Platform produces the tools to fulfill that promise.
Modulari-T is a pre-clinical stage biotech startup developing a novel chimeric antigen receptor platform, using a new family of synthetic genes that can reprogram cells to better sense their environment and modify their behavior accordingly. This platform can be used to engineer immune cells to efficiently seek out and destroy specific targets such as cancer cells, fibrotic tissues, and autoimmune cells.
Modulari-T looks to expand its technology to reach every area of cell therapy and become the platform of reference for cell engineering.
