Century Therapeutics

Century Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on developing advanced cell therapies using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to treat various cancers, including hematologic and solid tumors. Founded in 2018 and based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the company utilizes a unique allogeneic iPSC-derived cell therapy platform that integrates gene editing, protein engineering, and robust manufacturing capabilities. This innovative approach allows for the generation of modified immune effector cells, such as natural killer (NK) and T cells, designed to meet significant unmet medical needs. By employing techniques like CRISPR-mediated gene editing and proprietary chimeric antigen receptors, Century Therapeutics aims to enhance cell product performance and minimize rejection by the host immune system, thereby improving the efficacy of cancer treatments.
