MaxCyte to Present at BIO-Europe 2019
Gaithersburg, Maryland - 07 November 2019 - MaxCyte (LSE: MXCT, MXCS), the global cell-based therapies and life sciences company, announces that President and Chief Executive Officer Doug Doerfler will present on the Company's CARMA™ cell-therapy platform at the annual BIO Europe conference on 13 November 2019 at Hamburg Messe, Hamburg, Germany.
The presentation, which will take place at 10:30 a.m. CET in Hall B1, Room 6, will focus on MaxCyte's position at the forefront of the development of next generation cell-based medicines with the proprietary CARMA platform.
CARMA is MaxCyte's clinical-stage, non-viral, mRNA-based cell therapy platform that allows for the transfection of mRNA into cells and provides a simple, rapid-to-manufacture, dose-controllable product. CARMA requires less than one day for manufacture therapies for patients, where existing CAR-T therapies require one to two weeks or more to manufacture. MaxCyte's wholly-owned lead CARMA candidate, MCY-M11, is currently being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma.
