Garnet BioTherapeutics
www.garnetbio.com
Garnet BioTherapeutics is a clinical stage, cell therapy
company focused on dermal-based regenerative therapy. Garnet
has identified the first in a series of cell products which
it calls GBT 009, capable of reducing inflammation and
promoting healing. In addition, the company has developed
proprietary scalable cell manufacturing technology that has
largely solved the challenge of commercial manufacturing
scale up of patient doses from a single donor source.
The company is initially developing its cell-based therapy
for cosmetic and dermatologic applications where accelerated
healing and reduced scarring are desirable. Garnet believes
that the cell-based therapy may also be applicable for
treatment of burns, auto-immune disorders such as psoriasis,
and in other conditions where inflammation or scar formation
plays an important role in disease pathology.
