Vita Therapeutics (Private)
A cell engineering company harnessing the power of genetics to develop cellular therapies.
Vita Therapeutics is a cell engineering company, founded out of Johns Hopkins University in 2019, that seeks to develop life-transformative treatments. The company utilizes induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to engineer specific cell types designed to replace those that are defective in patients. Further, Vita works towards delivering tissue-specific stem cells that have the capability to continue to replicate and support muscle regeneration. Vita’s lead therapy, VTA-110, is a potential first-in-class allogenic iPSC-based therapy that has shown the ability to repair and regenerate healthy muscle in preclinical studies and has the potential to benefit patients with LGMD and other muscular dystrophies.
