The Combined General Shareholders' Meeting provided an opportunity for André Choulika, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to explain the way in which the Group is positioning itself as a key player in the field of oncology and is playing a full part in the therapeutic revolution taking place in the field of adoptive immunotherapy to fight cancer with T lymphocytes bearing a CAR. In this connection, André Choulika put into perspective the various agreements reached since the beginning of the year.
Cellectis is a biopharmaceutical company specializing in oncology. Its mission is to develop a new generation of treatments for cancer, based on T-cell engineering. Cellectis has accumulated 14 years' experience in genome engineering – resting on its flagship tools, TALEN™ and meganucleases, and on the pioneering Pulse Agile electroporation technology, in order to create a new generation of immunotherapies to treat leukemia and solid tumors. The adoptive anticancer immunotherapy developed by Cellectis is based on the first allogenic T-cells expressing a chimeric antigenic receptor (CAR) targeting acute and chronic forms of leukemia. CAR technologies are designed to target the surface antigens of cancer cells. These treatments reduce and have the potential to overcome the toxicity associated with current chemotherapies. Thanks to the application of these pioneering genome engineering technologies to the life sciences, the Cellectis group is creating innovative products in many areas that are aimed at a variety of markets. Cellectis is listed on the Alternext market (code: ALCLS). To find out more about us, visit our website: www.cellectis.com
