Technology platforms
HIP
Hypoimmune Platform (HIP) — ex vivo cell engineering technology using three genome modifications (MHC class I disruption, MHC class II disruption, CD47 overexpression) to create allogeneic cells that evade immune rejection without immunosuppression; applied to iPSC-derived cell types including pancreatic islet cells; focus areas include type 1 diabetes and other diseases requiring cell replacement therapy.
Targets: MHC class I, MHC class II, CD47
Fusogen
Fusogen-based in vivo delivery platform — enables cell-specific delivery of genetic payloads (including CAR constructs) directly to target cells in vivo by targeting cell surface receptors; initial focus on CD8+ T cell-targeted delivery for in vivo CAR T generation; applicable to B cell cancers and B cell mediated autoimmune diseases.
Targets: CD8
HIP technology · President and Fellows of Harvard College
Hypoimmune platform (HIP) technology for engineering allogeneic cells to evade immune rejection and persist in vivo; focus on ex vivo cell therapy including stem cell-derived islet cells for type 1 diabetes and allogeneic CAR T cells; licensed from Harvard and University of California
fusogen platform
In vivo cell engineering platform using fusogen technology (acquired from Cobalt Biomedicine) for cell-specific delivery of genetic payloads including CARs to patient T cells in vivo; focus on B cell cancers, B cell mediated autoimmune diseases, and multiple myeloma
Targets: CD8
