Head, Medical Affairs

Company Background: Century Therapeutics is an innovative biotechnology company building an industry-leading allogeneic iPSC-derived cell therapy platform. This platform integrates cutting-edge gene editing, protein engineering, technical development, and manufacturing capabilities to generate allogeneic, iPSC-derived NK and T cell therapies for cancer, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. Century's foundational technology is built on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which have an unlimited self-renewing capacity. This enables complex cellular engineering to produce controlled cell banks of modified cells that can be expanded and differentiated into desired immune effector cells, which can supply vast amounts of allogeneic, homogeneous therapeutic products.
