MaxCyte CEO Doug Doerfler to Present at 2019 BIO International Convention

GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- MaxCyte announced today that Doug Doerfler, Chief Executive Officer, will provide a company overview at the 2019 BIO International Convention on Wednesday, June 5, at 1:15 p.m. ET at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. 

In his presentation, Mr. Doerfler will discuss:

• The status of MaxCyte's Phase I dose-escalation clinical trial with MCY-M11, a wholly-owned non-viral mRNA-based therapeutic candidate from MaxCyte's CARMA™ platform. Investigators recently began dosing in the trial's second cohort of individuals with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma. MaxCyte is one of a small number of companies with a cell therapy for solid tumours in the clinic, and successful dosing represents MaxCyte's unique approach to chimeric antigen receptor ("CAR") therapy, including its rapid manufacturing process.
• MaxCyte's commercial momentum including new multi-drug commercial agreements signed with CRISPR Therapeutics, Precision BioSciences  and with Kite, a Gilead Company.  All programs enable non-viral cell engineering for development of multiple CAR-T drug candidates. MaxCyte's total number of cell therapy partnered program licenses total more than 70 including more than 35 partnered program licensed for clinical development. 
• MaxCyte's newly launched next generation of commercially-oriented instruments and consumables, under the ExPERT™ brand. This includes three instrument formats with enhanced design and functionality, coupled with a wider range of consumables that offer expanded utility from early research to clinical and commercial use.
