Neogene Therapeutics Grabs $110M to Tackle Solid Tumors With Cell Therapy

Cell therapy offers another option for addressing the most difficult blood cancer cases, but such treatments, which are engineered from a patient’s own immune cells, don’t yet work on solid tumors. Neogene Therapeutics is developing technology with the potential to bring cell therapies to solid tumors and it now has $110 million to advance its research toward human testing.
