Overview
Company Summary
Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. (PSTX) is a biotechnology company that focuses on developing gene therapies for the treatment of various diseases. They specialize in using their proprietary gene-engineering platform, known as Cas-CLOVER�, to design and create highly targeted therapies.
The company's key area of expertise lies in developing chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies, which are a type of immunotherapy that harnesses the power of the patient's own immune system to fight diseases such as cancer. CAR-T therapies involve genetically modifying the patient's T-cells to express receptors that target specific cancer cells, enabling them to recognize and destroy those cells more effectively.
Poseida Therapeutics' Cas-CLOVER� gene-editing platform enables precise and efficient modifications to be made to the patient's T-cells, enhancing the safety and efficacy of CAR-T therapies. By using their technology, the company aims to address the limitations of existing CAR-T therapies and develop treatments with improved outcomes and decreased side effects.
In addition to CAR-T therapies, Poseida Therapeutics is also involved in developing gene therapies for genetic disorders, such as rare diseases and genetic liver disorders. They aim to utilize their gene-engineering capabilities to create personalized, targeted treatments capable of correcting genetic mutations responsible for these diseases.
Overall, Poseida Therapeutics focuses on advancing the field of gene therapy through their innovative technology platform and developing novel treatments to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer and genetic disorders.
