Modifi Bio given $2.4 million re oncology platform

Modifi Biosciences has been selected by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for a Fast-Track Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Award of $2.4 million to further advance its novel precision oncology platform into the clinic.

“This SBIR grant serves as an independent peer review of our transformative approach to exploit DNA repair defects via DNA modification, which has the potential to one day change the oncology treatment paradigm, particularly for patients with brain cancer,” said Seth Herzon, PhD, Modifi Bio co-founder, and the Milton Harris ’29 PhD Professor of Chemistry in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
