O que LEAH Labs faz

LEAH Labs is building living therapies for pets first, and their people next. We're first focused on CAR-T cell therapy for dogs with B cell lymphoma, the naturally occurring clinical analog of human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. CAR-T cells are curative in humans, and our early results are showing the same - we're inducing remissions in pets with late stage lymphomas. Our virus-free gene editing platform allows us to engineer a dose of CAR-T cell therapy for ~$500, and brings the promise of a curative outcome. Given our safety and efficacy data to date, we believe this product could be used by general practice veterinarians, meaning we have thousands of customers all across the USA who typically treat with palliative care or refer cancer patients to specialty oncologists. Our CAR-T cell platform is regulated by the USDA, not the FDA, affording us a cost effective "full stack" to iterate and innovate on CAR-T cell therapy from a hypothesis through clinical validation.

Living therapies for pets first, people next

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building virus-free CAR-T cell therapies specifically for dogs with B cell lymphoma. Our product engineers living therapeutic cells that induce remission in pets, and we plan to extend this platform to human treatments later. The platform is designed to be cost-effective and usable by general practice veterinarians, expanding access to curative therapies outside specialty clinics.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in Minneapolis, MN, and the company will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Minneapolis has strong biotech resources and because our founders are here, it's practical and cost-effective to stay. Being under USDA regulation rather than FDA lets us iterate faster even from this location.
