Carina Biotech
An Australian clinical stage immunotherapy company established to research and develop chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies to treat solid cancers. Carina are working towards producing broad-spectrum CAR-T therapies that can be used to treat multiple solid cancers yet are patient-specific and result in little, if any, off-cancer damage. Using its proprietary platforms, Carina is also developing technologies to improve access to, and infiltration of, solid cancers, and to enhance CAR-T cell manufacturing.
We are working to…
1. Expand the clinical indications for T cell therapies
2. Improve the commercial viability of T cell therapies by developing supporting technologies that make T cell therapies more effective or economically viable
Headquartered in Adelaide, South Australia, Carina has strong T cell R&D capability across a network of research providers and collaborators including leading scientists at the UniSA, the Womens & Childrens Hospital in Adelaide, the University of Adelaide, the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in NSW and the Seattle Childrens Hospital in the United States.
