"With our piggyBac DNA Modification System, we are able to consistently produce a CAR-T product that is 100% pure modified T cells and is predominantly comprised of T-stem cell memory (Tscm) cells, two key characteristics that enable more persistent and durable activity with less cytokine release," said Eric Ostertag, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer at Poseida.
