01
Advance TSC-101 and next heme programsshort-term
Clinical proof-of-concept is needed to validate the platform and support later-stage development.
02
Expand the ImmunoBank platformmedium-term
A broader TCR library increases the number of target/HLA combinations the company can pursue.
03
Strengthen manufacturing and process readinessmedium-term
Cell therapy development depends on reproducible, scalable, and controlled manufacturing.
TScan faces the typical risks of a clinical-stage cell therapy company: uncertain clinical outcomes, regulatory review...
