Phagocytex Ltd.

Phagocytex Limited builds a proprietary pCAR-M platform via engineering macrophages with AI-designed peptides in just two hours. By simply switching targeting peptides, we enable faster, safer, and personalized solid tumor therapy. Our approach overcomes CAR-T’s infiltration barriers, leveraging macrophages’ natural tumor-penetrating ability to target up to 92% of cancers.
