About the company

What they build and who they serve.

Verismo Therapeutics is a clinical-stage cell therapy company developing a multi-chain KIR-CAR platform that adapts NK-cell killer immunoglobulin-like receptor and DAP12 signaling to extend CAR T cell therapy beyond blood cancers into solid tumors. Founded by inventors of the Kymriah CAR-T (including Carl June), the company is advancing two Phase 1 programs: SynKIR-110 in mesothelin-positive solid tumors and SynKIR-310 in relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is a U.S. subsidiary of KOSDAQ-listed HLB Innovation.
