Cancer is a devastating disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite remarkable advancements in cancer research, current cancer treatments are still associated with high toxicity and adverse side effects, leading to a lower quality of life for patients and reduced chances of survival. Granza Bio aims to change this by offering a new and innovative approach to cancer treatment that is both effective and safe.
Granza Bio's therapeutics, "attack particles," are engineered to target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched, thus preventing any unwanted toxicity or side effects. These attack particles have shown remarkable cancer-killing efficacy in brain (glioblastoma), ovarian, lung, and skin cancers. Granza Bio's platform can also be deployed to target a great range of diseases, including autoimmune diseases and infections, making it a versatile and promising tool for treating many different types of illnesses.
The BioEscalator is a perfect place for Granza Bio to continue its mission. The BioEscalator provides state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, access to world-class expertise, and networking opportunities to startups like Granza Bio, enabling them to accelerate their research and development activities.
