Gaithersburg, Maryland - 5 February 2020 - MaxCyte, the global cell-based therapies and life sciences company, announces its planned participation at the BIO CEO & Investor Conference at the New York Marriott Marquis.

CARMA Cellular Therapies is developing its novel and proprietary technology for non-viral, human messenger RNA (mRNA)-based, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) or T-cell receptor (TCR) redirected immune cell therapies for solid cancer and offers the potential for a safer cell therapy, as a result of transient expression of receptor(s) and a non-viral delivery approach.
