  • Ctmc is a joint venture between MD Anderson and National Resilience.
  • Ctmc partners with preclinical biotech, MD Anderson faculty, and Factus to provide a capital-efficient model to bring impactful single dose curative treatments to patients.
  • Ctmc has filed three INDs in the first six months since it spun off on novel cell therapies brought into the clinic.
  • Ctmc has progressed on the seven clinical studies that it supports.
  • Ctmc recently announced that it was the recipient of a $9.1 million grant to help develop cell therapy platforms and improved ways of making these cell therapies.
