On November 2, 2023 Be Biopharma, Inc. ("Be Bio"), a company pioneering the discovery and development of Engineered B Cell Medicines (BCMs) reported that it will present new preclinical data in an oral presentation at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) taking place December 9-12, 2023, in San Diego, California (Press release, Be Biopharma, NOV 2, 2023, View Source [SID1234636735]). The research will describe the development of an ex vivo precision-engineered B Cell Medicine (BCM) that produces active and sustained levels of factor IX (FIX). The abstract is now available online in a special issue of the ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) official journal, Blood.

About Engineered B Cell Medicines – A New Class of Cellular Medicines
Imagine what could "Be?" In nature, a single B cell engrafts in the bone marrow and can produce thousands of proteins per second at constant levels over decades. B cells are nature’s exquisite medicine factories, manufacturing proteins to fight disease and maintain health. Unleashing the power of B cells is driving a new class of cellular medicines – Engineered B Cell Medicines (BCMs). BCMs have the potential to be durable, allogeneic, redosable and administered without toxic conditioning. The promise of BCMs could transform therapeutic biologics with broad application — across protein classes, patient populations and therapeutic areas.
