CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ernexa Therapeutics (Nasdaq: ERNA), developing innovative cell therapies for the treatment of advanced cancer and autoimmune disease, today announced that its President and CEO, Sanjeev Luther, will participate in a featured panel discussion at the upcoming 5 th Annual iPSC Drug Development Summit on October 1 in Boston.

“Participation in the iPSC Drug Development Summit provides Ernexa the opportunity to contribute to important conversations shaping the future of cell therapy,” said Luther. “We believe our synthetic iMSC approach has the potential to overcome key barriers in the field and ultimately deliver scalable, transformative therapies for patients living with cancer and autoimmune disease.”

Ernexa is advancing a best-in-class approach using engineered induced mesenchymal stem cells (iMSC), derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), to provide a scalable, allogeneic, off-the-shelf treatment option without the need for patient-specific cell harvesting.

Details about the session at the Summit include:

Ernexa is developing two highly innovative stem cell therapy products – ERNA-101 for the treatment of ovarian cancer and ERNA-201 for the treatment of autoimmune disease.

Ernexa most recently presented new data on ERNA-101 in an oral presentation at the AACR Special Conference in Cancer Research about how the gene-modified iPSC-derived MSC restores a “hot” immune microenvironment in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

The iPSC Drug Development Summit is a leading global forum bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to accelerate the development of iPSC-based therapies. The interactive panel discussion, featuring industry leaders, will showcase the iPSC cell therapy industry and address key questions from attendees – peers, pioneers in iPSC-based therapies, R&D practitioners, clinical directors, and regulatory experts.
