This summer we’ve made significant strides advancing toward the clinic, with both an IND clearance and a Fast Track designation for ABA-101. Our rapid progress and our best-in-class approach to Treg development also enabled us to add expertise and a new investor: Bristol Myers Squibb. We look forward to sharing more news soon! https://lnkd.in/ehFPrJpi #drugdevelopment #biotechnology #MS

For the third year in a row, we partnered with Schools on Wheels of Massachusetts to fill backpacks with supplies for students impacted by homelessness. We continue to be inspired by this incredible initiative - supporting the academic, social, and emotional growth of local students. We’re happy to contribute in our small way to help kids feel a sense of belonging at school. #GivingBack #culture #CommunityEngagement https://www.sowma.org/
