Jasper Therapeutics is a publicly listed company with a lead clinical-stage program that is a first-in- class and potentially breakthrough antibody to safely replace chemo-radiation as a conditioning agent for diseases for which hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT) of allogeneic or gene-modified cells are the only known curative therapy. These diseases include (but are not limited to) acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, rare genetic blood diseases such as primary immune deficiency diseases and hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease. Jasper is also developing a novel cell engineering platform focused on transitently modifying hematopoietic stem cells to significantly improve the efficacy and safety of donor allogeneic transplant and gene therapies. By creating novel, safe and highly effective conditioning regimens for hematopoietic transplantation, Jasper is leading the field with innovative clinical trials to safely bring cures to patients suffering from a variety of life-threatening diseases.

The Jasper vision is to build a leading biotechnology company to advance the field of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) by leveraging its basic and translational science to generate a pipeline of innovative therapeutics in the areas of HCT conditioning, immune modulation, cell engineering and gene editing therapies.
