SAN DIEGO, Dec. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Shoreline Biosciences, Inc. (Shoreline), a biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation cellular immunotherapies based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) utilizing its proprietary iPSC-derived natural killer (iNK) cell and macrophage (iMACs) platforms, today announced that it will present new data on its iNK platform during an oral presentation and in a poster at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology 2022 (ASH 2022). ASH 2022 will be held from Saturday, December 10, to Tuesday, December 13, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
During the oral presentation, Shoreline scientists will showcase the Company’s novel manufacturing process to support the clinical scale cGmP production of CISH knock-out iNK cells.
“We are thrilled to showcase Shoreline’s CISH knock-out engine and our scalable manufacturing approach during our presentations at ASH 2022,” said Kleanthis G. Xanthopoulos, Ph.D., Shoreline’s Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO. “We believe our approach holds tremendous potential to create next-generation products using iNKs that reduce the cost and complexity of conventional cell therapy approaches.”
Robert Hollingsworth, Ph.D., Shoreline’s Chief Scientifc Officer, added, “Our goal is to win the war on cancer with our iPSC-derived iNK and iMACs and presenting our scientific progress to our peers and collaborators is crucial to Shoreline’s growth. We want to thank the organizers at ASH for recognizing Shoreline and providing us with the opportunity to highlight our science and we look forward to advancing our pipeline towards the clinic.”
