Technology Overview

This technology involves the development of chimeric autoantigen receptor (CAAR) T cell therapy, specifically designed to combat Graves' disease by targeting and destroying autoreactive B cells. By utilizing molecular modeling to identify specific epitopes on the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR), this approach allows for the precise targeting of problematic B cells, offering a potential cure by addressing the root cause of the disease.


Key Advantages

  • Targets the root cause of Graves' disease, offering a potential cure rather than symptom management
  • Provides a long-term solution by integrating into the patient's immune system to prevent relapse
  • Capable of precise targeting, minimizing the risk of off-target effects and collateral damage
  • Applicable to other autoimmune diseases, showcasing its versatility and broad therapeutic potential

Problems Addressed

  • Overcomes the limitations of traditional treatments that fail to address the underlying cause of Graves' disease
  • Reduces the risk of hypothyroidism and disease relapse associated with current treatment options
  • Addresses the need for targeted therapies in autoimmune diseases with minimal side effects

Market Applications

  • Treatment for Graves' disease and potentially other autoimmune disorders
  • Development of personalized medicine approaches for immune system-related diseases
  • Research tool for studying the interaction between engineered T cells and autoreactive B cells
