Ernexa is developing two highly innovative stem cell therapy products – ERNA-101 for the treatment of ovarian cancer and ERNA-201 for the treatment of autoimmune disease.
Ernexa most recently presented new data on ERNA-101 in an oral presentation at the AACR Special Conference in Cancer Research about how the gene-modified iPSC-derived MSC restores a "hot" immune microenvironment in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
The iPSC Drug Development Summit is a leading global forum bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to accelerate the development of iPSC-based therapies. The interactive panel discussion, featuring industry leaders, will showcase the iPSC cell therapy industry and address key questions from attendees – peers, pioneers in iPSC-based therapies, R&D practitioners, clinical directors, and regulatory experts.
