Seed investor CincyTech has announced the formation of Kurome Therapeutics (“Kurome”), a spin-off company based on cancer research discoveries made at Cincinnati Children’s by Daniel Starczynowski, PhD, and colleagues.
Kurome is developing combined IRAK1/4 and panFLT3 inhibitors to target cancer cells that evade the effects of chemotherapy drugs by adaptive resistance, having co-opted immune signaling pathways to survive.
