About Us
PURSUING A POTENTIALLY TRANSFORMATIVE CANCER TREATMENT APPROACH
Gridiron Sciences is a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of Reitec GMAR T (GMAR TTM) therapies for cancer. Led by a world-class management team with significant experience in cell therapy, we are developing a pipeline of “off-the-shelf” GMAR T cell therapy candidates with the goal of delivering readily available cell therapy faster, more reliably and at greater scale to more patients.
We BELIEVE
We believe the next revolution in cancer treatment is the development of GMAR TTM therapies engineered from the T cells of healthy donors. These off-the-shelf GMAR T therapies enhanced by gene editing could be the next most important breakthrough in the field. Our mission is to catalyze this immune cell therapy approach and deliver GMARsTM to patients with hematologic cancers and solid tumors to make a difference in their lives.
