For the first time, the Oncolytic Virotherapy Summit will host the Oncolytic Virotherapy Innovation Showcase. Calidi Biotherapeutics has been selected as one of the 10 finalists to present its novel platform technology to the entire summit audience during the Pre-Conference Focus Day.
"We are very pleased with the decision of the prestigious selection committee to invite Calidi to present our stem cell-based technology for delivery and potentiation of oncolytic viruses," said Boris Minev, MD, President of Medical and Scientific Affairs at Calidi Biotherapeutics. "This meeting presents a valuable opportunity to understand the latest advances in our field and explore collaborative opportunities with potential clinical, academic, and industry partners. Ultimately, Calidi’s participation in this summit provides a significant platform to share our novel technology with a target audience both highly focused and experienced in our field."
Calidi’s presentation at the Oncolytic Virotherapy Innovation Showcase will focus on its proprietary stem cell-based delivery systems, shown to effectively protect, amplify, and potentiate oncolytic viruses from elimination by the patient’s immune system. The therapeutic utility of Calidi’s novel technology platforms is supported by clinical findings, published in The Lancet Oncology and Journal of Translational Medicine.
