VOR

Vor Biopharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology firm dedicated to developing innovative engineered hematopoietic stem cell (eHSC) therapies for individuals battling cancer. Its lead product candidate, VOR33, is an eHSC therapy currently undergoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials. VOR33 is designed to target acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and various other hematological malignancies.

The company's eHSC platform is intended to enable a range of targeted blood cancer treatments, including CAR-T cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates. Vor Biopharma has established a partnership with Akron BioProducts for the development and manufacturing of cGMP nucleases.
