A team at UC Davis is taking a patient's blood forming stem cells and inserting three anti-HIV genes into them and then returning them to the individual to help rebuild…
Calimmune is genetically modifying patients' own blood-forming stem cells (also known as bone marrow stem cells) so they can produce immune cells—the ones normally destroyed by the HIV virus—that cannot…
Research Objective With a single administration to an individual, lentiviral vectors that selectively transduce B cells in vivo and express highly potent anti-HIV-1 proteins to suppress HIV-1 replication throughout life…
Research Objective We propose to transduce hematopoietic stem cells with vectors that encode chimeric antigen receptors targeting HIV for T cells and anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies for B and/or plasma…
Research Objective We aim to uncover a therapeutic approach to attempt to treat and potentially cure HIV infection using gene modified blood forming stem cells to enhance the immune response…
Research Objective The therapeutic candidate proposed here is hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells engineered to encode for HIV-specific T cell receptors. Impact The success of the proposed studies will test the efficacy…
Translational Candidate A blood forming stem cell based therapy to treat HIV infection and enhance HIV immunity. Area of Impact We are seeking to develop a therapy to treat HIV…
Therapeutic Candidate or Device Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific T cells that express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which targets and eliminates HIV-infected cells Indication Management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome…
Therapeutic Candidate or Device EBT-101 is a novel genome editing therapeutic targeting integrated HIV-1 genome to achieve sustained virologic reduction to enable functional cure. Indication EBT-101 is intended to deplete…
Therapeutic Candidate or Device HIV-specific CAR-T cells Indication Management of HIV infection Therapeutic Mechanism We will modify T cells such that they are able to directly control HIV in the…
