A trial by Seattle-based Immusoft, a biotech company, said it is the first to genetically engineer B cells and test them in a patient, Wired reported Dec. 15. https://t.co/Vei9fqtX7o
CIRM is proud to support @immusoft's groundbreaking B cell therapy trial for MPS I and other diseases.
"Our goal is always to move the most promising research forward as fast as we can,” said Dr. Abla Creasey, VP of Therapeutics Development at CIRM.

@emilylmullin, from @WIRED, writes: "@immusoft announced that its scientists have genetically programmed a patient’s B cells and put them back in his body in an effort to treat disease. It’s the first time engineered B cells have been tested in a person." https://t.co/ICS7qD34JW
Incredibly proud to announce that Immusoft has dosed the first ever patient with an engineered b cell, and with none of the preconditioning or immunosuppression needed for gene modified stem cells or gene therapy. That's huge.

Immusoft Begins Clinical Trial of Autologous B-Cell Therapy in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I. ISP-001, which Immusoft developed using its Immune System Programming platform, aims to reprogram patients' B cells so they keep producing alpha-L-iduronidase. https://t.co/AYmkCFeuUk
Engineering B-cells:

The Westcott family first invested in @immusoft in 2013 when the idea of genetically engineering B-cells (antibody) was just that…an idea. Ten years later, they have dosed their first patient. One day this technology could change millions of lives. We are proud to have played a small part.

Great companies, in great company! Honored for Aurion to share BioFuture Stage with @endpts@leileiwuu, Sean Ainsworth @Immusoft, Christine Silverstein @ExcisionBio, Liz Wood @JuraBio to talk about the future of cell and gene therapy: how it will transform patient care.
At this year's @ASGCTherapy annual meeting, engineered B cells are shining 🤩
Beautiful abstracts from @PaulaUSC Matthew Porteus, Jennifer Adair, @JustinTaylorLab , @HPKiem , Richard James and David Rawlings, @immusoft and @bebiopharma
Excited to announce we’ve acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to IP for #genomeediting technology for primary B cells. 🧬🧬🧬
