"ISCT is the leading organization dedicated to cell and gene therapies, and we look forward to this conference every year to meet with customers, collaborators, and anyone else whose cell therapy development efforts can be accelerated by our unique approach to conditioning cells for more potent and persistent cancer-killing abilities," said Brian Feth, co-founder and CEO at Xcellbio.
Building upon the success of the AVATAR system previously launched for cell and gene therapy research and development, the cGMP AVATAR Foundry system represents the latest platform advancement to deliver novel capabilities for improving expansion and potency of cell therapies. The AVATAR product family now covers small-scale research and process development capabilities, as well as scale-up bioreactor manufacturing platforms for metabolically reprogramming therapeutic cells to improve their expansion, potency, and persistence in the tumor microenvironment.
