LIfT BioSciences

Profile

LIfT Biosciences is a biotech bringing to market a first-in-class alpha neutrophil cell therapy that overcomes the limitations of current therapies in solid tumours by destroying tumours both directly and indirectly. LIfT’s Immunomodulatory Alpha Neutrophils (IMANs) turn the tumour microenvironment against the tumour as they recruit the rest of the immune system to destroy the tumour to give a durable response and lasting immunity. The patented breakthrough N-LIfT platform is produced from a patented process using exceptional stem cells (iPSC or HSC), a proprietary enhancement media and genetic engineering (e.g. CARs). The resulting CAR-IMAN cells give cancer patients potentially hundreds of times the cancer killing ability they naturally possess. The company is working with a range of pharmaceutical license partners to develop a portfolio of CAR-IMAN cell therapies to deliver complete remission across all solid tumours before the decade is out. LIfT BioSciences was founded by Alex Blyth following the death of his mother to pancreatic cancer. Technology Immuno-Modulatory Alpha Neutrophil progenitors (IMANs) produced from iPSCs or HSCs using our N-LIfT Platform Stage Pre-clinical work completing, IND filing H2,2023 Focus Solid Tumours with high unmet medical need, starting with SCC-NSCLC, PDAC, HNSCC, UCC Patents 2016 Filing Granted, 6 Patents with FTO Current Raise £25m+ Series A. Pharma license discussions underway. Recent Achievements Successful production from iPSCs and GMP ready production from HSCs at 10L Increase T-cell and NK cancer killing 250% in Lab-on-chip tumour model Unmodified IMANs shows comprehensive solid tumour organoid killing (superior to Keytruda & Abraxane) in NSCLC, PDAC HER-2 CAR IMANs increase cancer cell killing x5 over the already potent unmodified
