Senti Biosciences to Present on Gene Circuit-Based Therapies at the 2020 ASGCT Annual Meeting

Senti Biosciences, Inc., the gene circuit company focused on outsmarting complex diseases with intelligent medicines, today announced upcoming oral and poster presentations at the 23rd Annual Meeting of the American Society for Gene and Cell Therapies (ASGCT), being held May 12-15, 2020 in a virtual format.

"We are excited about this opportunity to further showcase the potential of our gene circuit platform in oncology," said Tim Lu, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and cofounder of Senti Biosciences. "At ASGCT, we are presenting data on in vivo gene therapies, which are equipped with computer-like logic to target tumors in a highly specific manner. Additionally, we will highlight new preclinical data on SENTI-101, an allogeneic cell therapy genetically modified to express a potent combination of cytokines, which give us confidence in its therapeutic potential as we progress towards IND submission."

Details of the presentations are listed below:
