Overview: Edity Therapeutics

Edity Therapeutics is an Israel-based, biotechnology company founded in 2020. The company has developed a first-of-its-kind immune cell to delivery platform, enabling the selective delivery of therapeutic proteins to target cells with unprecedented specificity. Edity can engineer immune cells with a wide variety of protein cargo types, while leveraging the natural specificity of these cells to target diseased tissues. As a first example, Edity is using immune cells to deliver proteins into cancer cells that will trigger the body’s immune system to kill the cancer. Other potential applications include delivering gene therapies in a highly targeted fashion to diseased tissues.
