Congratulations to Thymmune Therapeutics on this $37M award to advance their pioneering thymic cell therapy, which has the long-term potential to boost immunity in the aging population. Thymmune developed an engineered thymus capable of restoring immune function in animal models as part of the Wellcome Leap HOPE program and is now advancing along the path towards human clinical trials.
‘We want to give everyone a new thymus to reboot their immune system’ Thymmune Therapeutics founder Stan Wang, MD, PhD says ARPA-H funding will bring ‘off-the-shelf’ thymus rejuvenation technology to human clinical trials. #longevity #immune #rejuvenation

Welcome, John-Arne!
Today, I’m immensely excited to begin my new role as Wellcome Trust’s CEO. It is a privilege to lead Wellcome, an organisation I have long admired. I look forward to working alongside my new colleagues in London and Germany to deliver on our mission to support science to solve the urgent health challenges facing everyone. I’ll be spending my first few months in London learning more about the organisation’s work, travelling to key research institutions in the UK and visiting researchers in our programmes across Africa and Asia. I hope to have the opportunity to meet many of you and am optimistic about the positive change we can create together.

Working together on something that matters — congratulations Stan Wang, MD, PhD and Thymmune Therapeutics!
As the first biotech startup funded by Wellcome Leap in its inaugural HOPE program, we at Thymmune are proud to be continuing the work at scale as the first biotech funded through the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)'s Open BAA. The focused, ambitious, and rapid pace of the work we did as part of HOPE with Annie Moisan and Cara Buchanan was critically enabling for Thymmune. Wellcome Leap executes the ARPA model at global scale--and it was fantastic preparation as we enter this next phase of advancing our cell therapy. We look forward to progressing our approach to providing a new thymus to patients in need.
