Kytopen welcomed Conor McCarron, a third-generation Massachusetts native bringing 13 years of manufacturing and operations experience to the Flowfect Celled Engineering Experience.

Kytopen is focused on the development and commercialization of groundbreaking genome engineering platforms for expediting the discovery, development, and manufacture of gene-modified cell therapies. Developed at MIT, the Flowfect® platform, harmonizing microfluidics and automation, revolutionizes the delivery of genome engineering materials to cells of therapeutic interest in an expeditious, scalable, and economically advantageous manner compared to current alternatives. In May 2023, Kytopen unveiled the Flowfect Discover™, an automated high-throughput genome engineering platform, and disclosed strategic partnerships with industry-leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) and translational academic medical centers. By combining Flowfect Discover™ with the Flowfect Tx™ large-scale delivery device in process development workflows, developers can now surmount manufacturing challenges during the discovery stage, fostering swifter and more cost-effective innovation.
