10:00 am Non-Viral CAR NK Platforms for Broad Therapeutic Applications in Cancer & Beyond

Principal Research Scientist, KIST(Korea Institute of Science and Technology)
  • Advancing non-viral CAR-NK platforms: Development of mRNA and circRNA-based CAR-NK systems enabling rapid, scalable, and safer manufacturing compared to viral approaches
  • Overcoming key barriers in solid tumors: Strategies to address antigen shedding (e.g., MSLN), CAR downregulation, and TME-mediated suppression (including TGF-Beta resistance and metabolic reprogramming)
  • Expanding therapeutic scope beyond oncology: Application of engineered NK cells in non-malignant diseases, highlighting next-generation targets and translational opportunities

10:30 am Morning Coffee Break

11:00 am Networking Session

This networking session is your opportunity to get face-to-face with many of the brightest minds working in the cell, gene and mRNA fields and establish meaningful business relationships.

Next-Generation CAR-T Targeting Strategies to Overcome the Tumor Microenvironment & Enhance Infiltration

11:30 am Early Clinical Validation of GF-CART01: A Non-Viral Dual-Targeting CAR-T Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory B-Cell Malignancies

Director of Business Development & Project Manager, GenomeFrontier Therapeutics
  • Introducing Quantum Engine for non-viral gene therapy
  • Describing the benefits of dual-targeting CD19/CD20 T(SCM) cells to overcome antigen escape and improve response durability
  • Presenting preliminary findings from a Phase I open-label trial of GF-CART01 for relapsed or refractory B-cell hematologic cancers

12:00 pm Engineering Next-Generation CAR-T: Dual & Triple Targeting Strategies for Superior Clinical Outcomes

Chief Executive Officer, Cunnovative
  • Developing a dual-target CAR-T therapy for AML aimed at overcoming antigen heterogeneity and antigen escape–driven relapse
  • Sharing insights about GPC3-targeted, multi-modal CAR-T therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, enhance T-cell persistence and infiltration, recruit endogenous bystander T cells

12:30 pm Lunch Break

1:15 pm Extended Networking

Optimizing Design, Delivery & Development of Effective Gene Therapies Tackling Common & Rare Diseases

1:45 pm RNA Editing Based Gene Therapy Strategy Using Trans-Splicing Ribozyme

Director - Research, Rznomics
  • Overview of RNA editing based on trans-splicing ribozyme
  • Presenting cancer gene therapy
  • Showcasing gene therapy for genetic disorders

2:15 pm Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier With Engineered Natural Nanoparticles: A Dock-&-Transcytose Approach for Deep Parenchymal Delivery of ASO, siRNA, & Protein Cargos

Chief Executive Officer, Shiftbio
  • Presenting the NNP Trinity platform, a structure-prediction-driven approach that combines an NSM membrane engineering scaffold, AI-guided design of protein assembly, and a validated 3D bioreactor process for scalable, clinical-grade production of cell-derived natural nanoparticles
  • Exploring the B-NNP brain shuttle, a dock-and-transcytose dual-targeting design in which Transferrin Receptor 1 drives receptor-mediated transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier while a second motif anchors the particle to a diseased-brain glycoprotein, enabling deep parenchymal delivery rather than perivascular accumulation
  • Outlining applied oligonucleotide delivery with in vivo data on ASO and siRNA cargo loaded into B-NNP, including amyloid-beta reduction in a 5XFAD Alzheimer’s model after systemic IV dosing, with extension to additional CNS targets
