CAR-T cell therapy works by extracting a patient’s T-cells and genetically engineering these cells to produce chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that can be used to specifically seek out and destroy cancer cells after infusion back into the patient.

The BEAT technology enables the use of CAR-T cell therapies for the treatment of solid tumour indications, which remain largely impervious to treatment with current CAR-T cell technologies.

 Currus Biologics’ BEAT overcomes many of the challenges presented with traditional CAR-T cell therapies when treating solid tumours.

Currus Biologics is a privately held biotechnology company based in Melbourne, Australia.

The Company is funded by the Medical Research Commercialisation Fund (managed by life science specialist venture capital firm, Brandon Capital Partners) and Uniseed.

Currus Biologics has been spun out of research from Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, a world-leading cancer research and treatment centre.
