Purple Biotech announces research collaboration with Icahn School of Medicine

Purple Biotech (PPBT) announced that it has entered into a Research Collaboration Agreement with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY, to explore the immunoregulation of NK and T cells within the TME by Purple’s CAPTN-3 multi-specific engagers with the purpose of enhancing tumor-specific immunity against various cancer types. “Partnering on this important preclinical work with the Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute and The Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine is expected to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of action for our innovative tri-specific platform in preparation for human clinical studies,” said Gil Efron, Purple Biotech CEO. “We have recently observed a growing interest in multi-specific engagers, and we look forward to advancing CAPTN-3 development as we prepare for first-in-human clinical studies.”
