Caribou Biosciences, Inc. is a clinical-stage genome-editing biopharmaceutical company. The Company is developing transformative clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) therapies for patients with devastating diseases. The Company’s CRISPR platform, CRISPR hybrid RNA-DNA (chRDNA), enables superior genome-editing precision to develop cell therapies that are specifically engineered for enhanced persistence. It is advancing a pipeline of allogeneic, or off-the-shelf, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T (CAR-T) and CAR-natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapies for the treatment of patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The Company’s lead product candidate, CB-010, is a clinical-stage allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) removed from the CAR-T cell surface by a genome-edited knockout of the PDCDI gene.
