From Coal To Renewables: Altius Minerals

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Altius Minerals Corporation (OTCQX: ATUSF) (TSX: ALS), a Canadian diversified royalty company, is positioning itself strategically in the energy sector by transitioning from thermal coal to renewable energy royalties. This shift not only aligns with the global push towards decarbonization but also reflects the economic advantages of renewable energy on the grid. Altius Minerals acquired its first portfolio of royalties (after buying a single royalty in 2003) in late 2013. The portfolio included royalties on Canada’s world-leading potash mines in Saskatchewan, but the seller of the portfolio bundled the potash royalties with coal royalties on Alberta thermal coal mines. In 2015, both the Alberta and Canadian federal governments made announcements to significantly accelerate the phase-out of coal-fired electricity. This meant that mines (and Altius’s associated royalty) that were originally expected to run until 2055 received a government mandate to end by 2030. This represented a significant loss of potential royalty revenue to Altius – but also caused management to evaluate how best to evolve as a company. Altius recognized the need to divest from thermal coal and seize the opportunities presented by the growing renewable energy industry, and the company has taken an active stance in an industry that is often criticized for its contribution to climate change. The company’s move towards renewable energy was accelerated in 2019 when Altius acquired Great Bay Renewables, a private U.S. renewable energy company, to form a renewable energy royalty company. In 2020, Altius attracted prominent private equity player Apollo as a joint venture partner in its renewable energy business. This partnership signaled the growing interest and confidence in the renewable energy sector. Subsequently, in 2021, Altius successfully completed an initial public offering (IPO) for its renewable energy royalty vehicle, now known as Altius Renewable Royalties (OTCQX: ATRWF) (TSX: ARR). Altius is a royalty company that, unlike most of its competitors, has very little gold royalty exposure. Although gold has properties that make it uniquely adaptable for uses including medical and technology applications, its main demand source is jewelry and coins. Contrast that with copper, which, along with potash, makes up Altius’s main exposures. Altius has always pursued large, global end-use markets that address global sustainability problems. Most of the royalty revenue comes from potash, electrification battery metals and iron ore for green steel, along with their core holding in subsidiary ARR. These markets align with multiple UN sustainable development goals, such as eradicating poverty, ensuring renewable energy, responsible procurement and more. This strategic focus aligns with the values of stakeholders who believe in these goals. As a publicly listed company, ARR currently holds 33 royalties on wind, solar and soon-to-be battery storage projects in the United States. This extensive portfolio potentially positions ARR as a key player in the renewable energy royalties industry. Additionally, ARR has a robust 15 GW pipeline, showcasing its potential for future growth and expansion. The market for renewable energy royalties could be massive. With the increasing global focus on transitioning from fossil fuels to clean energy sources, investments in wind, solar and other renewable energy projects are expected to soar. According to Allied Market Research, the global renewable energy market was valued at $881.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $1.9 trillion by 2030. Renewable energy royalties, in particular, have recently emerged as a growing segment of the renewable energy industry. As countries and corporations prioritize renewable energy to combat climate change and achieve sustainability goals, the demand for investments in this sector will likely continue to grow. Altius Minerals, with its focus on diversified minerals royalties, recognized this emerging market trend and strategically made its foray into the renewable energy sector. The potential size of the renewable energy royalties industry is expected to be larger than the scope of Altius Minerals itself. The massive investments in clean energy projects worldwide, coupled with the growing number of companies and investors involved in renewable energy royalties, indicate that the market has significant potential for expansion. Altius Minerals' strategic shift from coal royalties to renewable energy royalties through the formation of ARR demonstrates the company's adaptability and foresight in capitalizing on the potentially shifting landscape of the energy sector. With its IPO and an extensive portfolio of wind, solar and soon battery storage royalties, ARR seems well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for renewable energy as the global transition to clean energy continues to gain momentum.

Risk Ledger secures £6.25m to prevent cyber attacks on the supply chains of nation’s largest enterprises

Risk Ledger

Organisations have been laser focussed on protecting their own networks, applications, physical premises and people against cyber security attacks but have neglected their exposure to suppliers. Indeed, over the past 3 years, a staggering 73% of organisations have been affected by a third-party security breach. Helping these businesses toughen their resilience against such attacks, cyber security business Risk Ledger is today announcing it has raised a £6.25 million series A funding round to strengthen supply chains. The funding round was led by UK investor Mercia Ventures, which joins Seedcamp, Firstminute Capital, Episode 1, Village Global as well as Finnish VC Lifeline Ventures as investors. To date, Risk Ledger has raised a total of £9.8 million in venture funding. Recent cyber attacks on The Metropolitan Police and NHS Trusts through their supply chains have the potential to compromise the UK’s national security and private citizen data. A threat alert by the National Cyber Security Centre is also warning of increased state-sponsored attacks against UK critical national infrastructure. Supply chain attacks are on the rise, and can have severe impacts, as the Solarwinds, Log4J, and MOVEit Transfer attacks have shown. According to recent research by KPMG, 73% of the surveyed organisations had experienced at least one significant disruption, caused by a third party, within the last three years, while 85% said that their business considers third party risk management (TPRM) a strategic priority. The cost of global supply chain attacks is expected to reach $46 billion this year (Juniper Research). Organisations are increasingly trusting others with critical business functions and sensitive data, meaning vulnerabilities can appear anywhere in the supply chain, from suppliers to partners. Traditional, point in time cyber security risk assessments make for poor quality data that goes out of date fast, offering little protection. Risk Ledger offers an innovative social network approach to supply chain risk management, allowing organisations to use the platform as both clients and suppliers, able to share with connected organisations a single profile of their controls across 12 security domains, including ESG and financial risk. This reveals relationships in many directions and allows for a unique visualisation of the entire supply chain ecosystem, and the uncovering of critical interdependencies, concentration risks and single points of failure well beyond immediate third party connections. It also results in more accurate and real time data, giving organisations the ability to make better decisions to protect their business from supply chain threats. Haydn Brooks, co-founder and CEO, at Risk Ledger commented: “The unique ability of Risk Ledger to map relationships and interdependencies in the supply chain allows organisations to understand where they sit within their own supplier ecosystem and how different incidents may impact their organisation given those interdependencies.” Risk Ledger has seen rapid adoption over the past two years and today counts over 5,000 organisations with 17,000 users across large public sector and financial services organisations as customers. Client bookings have consistently doubled year on year, or more, since the company launched its platform in 2020. Risk Ledger's growing international client base includes many organisations in sensitive sectors such as critical national infrastructure, financial services and the public sector, which face particular regulatory scrutiny and need to demonstrate how they effectively limit the risks emanating from their suppliers. Speaking about the value Risk Ledger provides, the former Divisional Information Security Officer at the UK Health Security Agency, David Malkin, stated that “Risk Ledger provides us with a more holistic, real time view of our complex supply chain, helping to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities and issues early.” The new funding will fuel future product development to equip Risk Ledger’s clients with tools to combat supply chain security attacks and allow Risk Ledger to deepen partnerships within key industries. Mercia Ventures invested from its Northern Venture Capital Trust (VCT) funds. Adam Lovell of Mercia Ventures added: “Third-party risk is a major security concern for companies as it’s a factor over which they traditionally have little control. Risk Ledger offers an exciting new approach to third-party risk management. Haydn and Daniel have made remarkable progress in developing the business to date and have a very clear view of the way forward. We are delighted to support their ambitious growth plans.” Risk Ledger’s mission is to build a global network of connected organisations all working together to defend-as-one, detecting, responding, and ultimately preventing cyber attacks in real-time. Risk Ledger aims to enhance security through collaboration and the exchange of information. Haydn Brooks added: “As we push forwards towards our vision, our platform will open up new capabilities within supply chain security. Integrations and future product releases will allow organisations to both understand and react to security incidents in their supply chain, reducing the impact of such incidents and ultimately leading to a more resilient world.” About Risk Ledger Risk Ledger, the winner of the Financial Times’ Tech Champion 2022 Award, is a collaborative platform for supplier due diligence that helps organisations identify, visualise, and mitigate supply chain security risk. The Risk Ledger network connects organisations together to defend-as-one, detecting, responding, and ultimately preventing cyber attacks in real-time. Haydn Brooks and Daniel Saul, the Co-Founders of Risk Ledger, were named on the Forbes 30 under 30 Europe list of business leaders to watch.

Google Bard Price Prediction: Where Do Shiba Inu, Everlodge, and Dogecoin Go From Here?

Total Media

We have used Google Bard, one of the leading AI chatbots to scan the crypto market for three tokens with good price potential. In this article, we shall look at Google Bard's price prediction for Shiba Inu, Dogecoin, and Everlodge in Q4 2023. Shiba Inu's (SHIB) Burn Rate Dropped in October Shiba Inu (SHIB) remains one of the top memecoin in the crypto space despite the bear market. The Shiba Inu community is currently working on developing a decentralized ecosystem. Reports from Shibburn showed that there was a significant decrease in the number of SHIB tokens burned in October. According to Shibburn, the Shiba Inu community destroyed almost 1.46 billion SHIB tokens in October. In actuality, the burn rate for tokens in October was 37.12% lower than in September. The drop in the burn rate may indicate that investors are becoming less confident in Shiba Inu’s. They aren't actively taking part in the SHIB token burn as a result. As a result, they are not actively participating in the SHIB token burn. According to Shiba Inu CoinMarketCap data, the Shiba Inu price lost the key $0.00000800 level in November. Still, Google Bard's Shiba Inu price prediction remains bearish. Google Bard has forecasted the price of Shiba Inu token to reach $0.00000887 in Q4 2023. Dogecoin (DOGE) Bearish Despite “DOGE Day” The price of Dogecoin (DOGE) has increased by 20% in the past 10 days amid the Uptober market rally. On November 2nd, the memecoin community celebrated 2023 "DOGE Day." This day represented the birthday of "Kabosu," the dog that inspired the original "doge" meme. Meanwhile, historical data trends showed that whale trading activity increased in 2022. The same thing happened in 2023 as whale transactions rose from 790 on October 24th to 1,090 on November 1st. Notably, the price of Dogecoin crypto skyrocketed 100% from $0.060 to $0.12 in 2022. If history repeats, Dogecoin USD could see more upward price movement in the coming days. Unfortunately, Dogecoin CoinMarketCap info showed Dogecoin cryptocurrency dropped 3.1% to $0.067463. As a result, Google Bard has predicted that the chances of a 100% rally are low. Everlodge Allows Investors to Pool Resources To Buy Real Estate Properties Cryptocurrencies like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are quite popular in the crypto space. However, new underdogs like Everlodge's ELDG have caught investors' attention. Everlodge is preparing to launch a new feature that will change the way individuals purchase and sell real estate. Encouraging more individuals to invest in real estate is their primary objective. Because real estate investing required a large initial investment, many people were afraid to do so in the past. Fortunately, Everlodge has promised to solve this problem by using NFT fractionalization. This means you can buy shares in luxury houses as NFTs without having to buy the whole property. How can you do this? By simply pooling your resources with others. In addition, you can earn extra income when these NFTs are rented out or sold. Currently, ELDG is valued at $0.023, which is over a 100% increase from its starting price of $0.01. So you know, analysts have predicted a 3,000% increase before the end of 2023. So, get in and join the best crypto project before it is launched. For more information about the Everlodge (ELDG) Presale you can visit their website or join their community here.

Ethereum and Polygon NFTs Hit Minimum Monthly Sales In 2023 While Nugget Rush Attracts New Buyers

RoundHouse Media

Ethereum and Polygon NFTs Hit Minimum Monthly Sales In 2023 While NuggetRush Attracts New Buyers TL;DR Monthly sales for Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC) NFTs on OpenSea have fallen consecutively in the past few months. NuggetRush (NUGX) prepares to launch a highly anticipated play-to-earn mining game that will allow swapping of NFTs for real gold. Despite recent market bullishness, NFT sales have declined further in the past few weeks. Ethereum and Polygon are some of the most affected networks. Now, market experts are trying to predict what effect this would have on ETH and MATIC. Elsewhere, NuggetRush (NUGX) is providing an immersive experience that perfectly meets the desires of mining enthusiasts. The platform offers several mining rewards that players can easily convert to real-world value. Yet, analysts wonder if NuggetRush is a good crypto to buy now. Let’s see what they think. >> Buy NuggetRush Now << OpenSea Records Annual Low of Ethereum and Polygon NFTs Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC) are home to most NFTs available on the market. However, the bearishness of 2022 and 2023 has affected NFT sales on Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC). OpenSea, one of the largest NFT marketplaces, recorded a sharp drop in monthly NFT sales from both networks. In January 2023, Ethereum (ETH) NFT sales reached $659 million. Yet by September, it had dropped by 51% to $74 million. Likewise, Polygon NFT sales in February were around $109.12 million. However, it had fallen to $4.5 million in September. Despite the falling NFT activity, Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC) recorded improved market performance in October. ETH was trading at $1,663.63 on October 2. Yet, ETH rose by 8.7% to $1,810 by October 30. Likewise, MATIC was trading at $0.5685 on October 1. By October 30, MATIC rose by 14.3% to $0.649. Analysts say ETH and MATIC’s recent performance could be due to excitement over potential Bitcoin Spot ETF approval. Other analysts say new partnerships signed by Ethereum (ETH) and Polygon (MATIC) have led to short-term rallies for both projects. Ethereum has recorded rising network adoption due to the popularity of ETH staking. Likewise, Polygon’s (MATIC) zkEVM is gaining widespread adoption, thus increasing network activity. Analysts conclude that NFT activity might remain low until the year ends. However, Ethereum and Polygon’s network activity could keep rising. If that happens, ETH could rise by 17.1% to $2,120. Likewise, MATIC might rise by 42.2% to $0.923. NuggetRush (NUGX): Exploring a Miner’s Deepest Desires NuggetRush (NUGX) combines an exciting adventure and a way to reward and grow a community of like-minded individuals. The platform is building an ecosystem to welcome new and old miners alongside people who love adventurous play-to-earn games. In NuggetRush (NUGX), players must find and mine mineral resources. Players receive rewards with financial value. The game features a richly detailed virtual landscape with high mineral resource potential. It gives players experienced NFT characters who include skilled miners and business professionals. These NFT characters and machinery help players explore new territories and extract mineral assets. NuggetRush (NUGX) features an immersive gaming environment with realistic mechanics that keep players engaged. >> Buy NuggetRush Now << Moreover, the game offers high-earning potential that allows players to find valuable rewards regardless of location or skill level. To get the opportunity to win NuggetRush’s mining rewards, users must first purchase the NUGX token. NuggetRush (NUGX) is yet to launch and is still holding a blockchain ICO. NUGX is still in Stage 2 of its presale, trading at $0.012. Its value would soon grow in Stage 3 of its presale. When NUGX rises to $0.020, NuggetRush will launch. Analysts say NUGX’s growth prospects could make it one of the best new ICOs. Visit NuggetRush Presale Website Contact Details NuggetRush Team media@nuggetrush.io

BNB's Binance Launches Memecoin Staking Opportunity, Cardano Consolidates After Rally, InQubeta Aims for $1 in 2023

Web3 AI Media

The crypto landscape is buzzing with activity. Recently, Binance, the largest centralized exchange in the crypto space, announced a new staking opportunity for the community. The Binance Launchpool debuted Memecoin (MEME) staking opportunities for the holders of BNB, TUSD, and FDUSD. This provides an opportunity to earn, which has been met with excitement, unsurprisingly. In other news, Cardano (ADA) is in a consolidation phase after a period of rallying. Meanwhile, InQubeta (QUBE), one of the new ICOs (initial coin offerings), is aiming for $1 before the end of the year. In this article, we will cover the launch of Memecoin staking by Binance. In addition, we will explore the decline in the momentum of Cardano. Finally, we will delve into InQubeta’s potential, including why it is one of the altcoins to watch out for in the coming months. InQubeta (QUBE): The Road to $1 In contrast to Cardano and BNB, InQubeta (QUBE) is a new player in the crypto space. It is an innovative project on the initial coin offering list, popular for blending AI and blockchain technology, and has been stirring up interest. What is the significance of InQubeta’s convergence of AI and blockchain? It aims to transform the fundraising landscape of the AI sector by leveraging blockchain technology. To achieve its goal, it will become the first crowdfunding platform for AI startups through crypto, using its utility token, QUBE. This project is in the fourth stage of its presale phase and has managed to raise a whopping $4.3 million. Its current price is $0.0161, and analysts predict it will reach the $1 mark before mid 2024. This makes it arguably the best new crypto to invest in. If you wish to become an early adopter of this intriguing project, simply follow the link below. Visit InQubeta Presale Binance Launches Memecoin Staking The development that has taken a part of the crypto community by storm is the introduction of Memecoin (MEME) as a new staking opportunity. This token is currently featured on the Binance Launchpool staking platform. But what is Memecoin? It is the native utility token of Memeland, a Web3 venture studio. Binance plans to distribute 2% of the total supply of Memecoin, over 1.3 billion, to users on the Launchpool. Holders of BNB and the stablecoins TUSD and FDUSD can earn Memecoin by staking their holdings. Notably, this exercise will be held between October 28 and November 26. So, if you haven’t started staking, now is the best time to do so. Cardano (ADA) is in a Consolidation Phase What is Cardano (ADA)? At this point, it requires little to no introduction. After all, it is one of the top altcoins in the market and a top ten cryptocurrency. Simply put, it is a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain platform that allows the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Therefore, Cardano is integral to the blockchain landscape. Although Cardano has real-world applications and a solid foundation, it is currently in a consolidation phase. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that before this, ADA was on the upside. So, what will be its next move? Well, it is uncertain for now. Nevertheless, Cardano is expected to rally in the future, making it a good crypto to buy. Conclusion The unveiling of Memecoin as a new staking opportunity has been met with enthusiasm within the crypto community. In addition to this, Cardano is consolidating, while InQubeta has its sights set on the $1 mark. InQubeta’s fundamentals and investor interest in it will both play an important role in its rise.

How IN8bio Is Working To Reach Its Goal Of “Cancer Zero” – Making Cancer A Thing of The Past

Benzinga

By Ted Stavetski, Benzinga IN8bio Inc. (NASDAQ: INAB) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company tackling one of society’s most pressing issues: cancer. Specifically, the company is focused on using the immune system to eliminate residual tumors, and currently has two clinical programs focused on leukemia and on glioblastoma, the deadliest type of brain cancer. IN8bio is pioneering a new approach using the immune system to tackle the deficiencies that plague most current cancer treatments. Alpha-beta T cell-based chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR-T therapies have shown remarkable results against some leukemias and myelomas. However, many of these CAR-T treatments have faced challenges against more difficult-to-treat leukemias, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and solid tumor cancers. These cancers can be highly heterogenous, making them difficult to kill since they are often intertwined in healthy tissues, leading to unintentional toxicities and adverse events. In some cases, patients have even died. Fortunately, IN8bio may have found the solution to this problem. What Is “Cancer Zero?” IN8bio set out on a mission that it calls “Cancer Zero”, which co-founder and CEO William Ho describes as “the goal of pursuing the safe eradication of all tumor cells in patients fighting cancer.” In other words, the company aims to eliminate all cancer cells without destroying healthy cells. To achieve this, the company has developed advanced technologies using a specific subset of immune cells, or lymphocytes called gamma-delta T cells, in its DeltEx platform. Gamma-delta T cells are white blood cells whose job in the body is to be a first-responder and to determine safe and not-safe. They kill invading or dangerous cells and can call in reinforcements by recruiting and activating other immune cells. It was IN8bio’s co-founder, Dr. Lawrence Lamb, a clinical immunologist on a cancer ward treating patients with aggressive leukemias in the 1990s, who made the first observation that gamma-delta T cells are linked to greater survival in cancer patients. He spent the next 25 years figuring out how to expand, genetically engineer and manufacture gamma-delta T cells at scale and into a cancer therapy. In 2016, IN8bio was launched to take these gamma-delta T cell technologies into the clinic and today, Dr. Lamb is IN8bio’s Chief Scientific Officer. He leads a team of scientists and researchers dedicated to achieving the company’s mission of Cancer Zero. IN8bio’s DeltEx platform uses gamma-delta T cells that it believes are potentially safer and more effective at killing cancer cells than other therapies currently in development. The company has the capability to utilize autologous (from the patient), allogeneic (from a donor or “off-the-shelf”) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived gamma-delta T cells. These cells can be expanded, activated and genetically engineered outside of the body to increase their numbers and to enhance their hunting and killing abilities. In one platform unique to IN8bio, its drug resistant immunotherapy (DRI) technology enhances gamma-delta T cells by genetically engineering them to be chemotherapy resistant. Chemotherapies have been a mainstay of front-line cancer therapy since World War II. While effective at shrinking a tumor and prolonging survival, they also kill white blood cells. As a result, microscopic residual tumors that are resistant to therapy often remain and result in relapse because of the weakened immune system. IN8bio’s DRI approach allows the simultaneous combination of chemotherapy with an immune therapy that may create synergies that allow the DRI gamma-delta T cells to recognize and eliminate the residual tumor cells while leaving healthy tissues alone. By targeting compartments of residual tumor cells, IN8bio’s DRI approach may achieve deeper tumor responses that can prolong survival. The company has already protected the DRI technology behind this process with issued patents around the world. IN8bio: Drugs In Clinical Development IN8bio has three therapies that are in varying stages of clinical development: INB-400: A phase 2 multi-center clinical trial for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma, or GBM ( NCT05664243 ). This trial has recently initiated enrollment at leading brain tumor centers across the United States following clearance of a company-sponsored investigational new drug application, or IND, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. This program received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the FDA in the spring of 2023 for targeting a significant unmet medical need, which offers potential incentives such as 7-year market exclusivity. INB-200: A phase 1 clinical trial at the University of Alabama at Birmingham using autologous, genetically modified DRI gamma-delta T cells for the treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma (UAB - NCT04165941 ). This program was one of only four central nervous system (CNS) cancer programs to have received an oral presentation at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, the largest world-wide yearly gathering of cancer clinicians and researchers. At that time, the company released initial phase 1 data showing that 100% of treated patients have exceeded expected median progression-free survival. An additional clinical update is expected in November 2023 at the Society for Neuro-Oncology Annual Meeting (SNO), and long-term follow-up data is expected to be presented at medical meetings in the first half of 2024. INB-100: A phase 1 trial for the treatment of patients with high-risk leukemias undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation, or HSCT ( NCT03533816 ). The company presented a clinical update at the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) annual meeting in April 2023 that demonstrated 100% of evaluable patients (n=7) treated with INB-100 remained alive, progression-free and in durable complete remission (CR) as of April 21, 2023. Patients included high-risk AML patients and a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who had failed four prior lines of therapy, including CAR-T. All evaluable patients remained alive as of the last assessment and one patient had survived for three years. IN8bio has completed primary enrollment of the phase 1 clinical trial, with updated results expected at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual meeting in December 2023. Topline long term follow ups are expected in 2024. To further its research, IN8bio recently opened a new 10,000-square-foot research & development (R&D) facility in Birmingham, Alabama. This state-of-the-art facility not only bolsters the company’s ability to advance its groundbreaking pipeline of gamma-delta T cell therapies, but also further taps into the advanced cancer research at the UAB, and other prominent institutes. Additionally, the company holds a total of 19 granted U.S. and international patents with many more still pending approval. This will help IN8bio protect its innovative new therapies from competitors as they proceed through clinical trials towards future commercialization. Cancer Immunotherapy Market IN8bio is tackling a large market. Grand View Research estimates that the global cancer immunotherapy market was worth approximately $115 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7% from 2023 to 2030. Diving deeper, the American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 59,610 new cases of leukemia (and 23,710 deaths) in 2023, and the National Brain Tumor Society estimates that there were 13,400 new cases of glioblastoma in 2022. Despite being a lesser-known disease, awareness of glioblastoma is growing quickly. This is mainly due to the unfortunate, high-profile deaths of the President’s son, Beau Biden, and former U.S. Senator John McCain. One Step Closer Towards Cancer Zero IN8bio’s portfolio of cell therapies has the potential to offer a better treatment option for patients suffering from difficult to treat solid and liquid tumors such as AML and glioblastoma. The company’s primary advantage is its patent-protected platform gamma-delta T cell technologies, which it believes may allow it to better target cancer cells, getting deeper responses without hurting the patient’s healthy cells. The biotechnology company has had its foot on the gas pedal in recent years, boasting the following achievements: Two programs in phase 1, and enrollment has been initiated in its corporate-sponsored phase 2 trial at multiple sites across the U.S. A portfolio of preclinical programs in development including: iPSC derived gamma-delta T cells platform. iPSCs represent a significant step toward next generation approaches of cellular manufacturing for true allogeneic and potentially ‘off-the-shelf’ cellular therapies. INB-300, which focuses on addressing various solid and liquid tumors using a dedicated gamma-delta non-signaling CAR-T, or nsCAR, construct. These nsCAR constructs are designed specifically for the biology of gamma-delta T cells and allow IN8bio to potentially target tumor tissues while leaving healthy tissue alone. This could potentially create safer and more potent therapies. 19 granted patents for its technology. A brand new state-of-the-art R&D facility. $17 million in cash on hand, as of June 30, 2023, to help fund its operations and drug development. While the company is currently unprofitable – posting a net loss of $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 – this is largely expected for biotechnology companies in the clinical development stage as they work to develop new drugs. However, IN8bio’s approach to business appears to be quite different in the biotechnology industry. The company reports it has been able to advance its clinical and preclinical programs by being extremely efficient with the capital raised, searching for innovative ways to advance their preclinical and clinical programs. Whereas IN8bio has successfully advanced multiple programs into phase 1 and 2 clinical trials while only having spent $76.5 million through 2Q23, a number of competing cell therapy companies have spent far more while showing similar, or less progress. Co-founder and CEO, William Ho has over 22 years of combined experience managing biotechnology companies, healthcare finance and investing, while co-founder and CSO, Lawrence Lamb has been in cellular therapy for three decades. They and the rest of the management team have the experience and know-how to effectively execute, manufacture, develop and advance the company’s growing portfolio of cancer therapies. With any luck, IN8bio will be able to achieve their mission of Cancer Zero, making cancer a thing of the past. This post contains sponsored content.
