About Inograft Biotherapeutics

Inograft Bio is a preclinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering best-in-class, non-genotoxic bone marrow conditioning regimens for bone marrow transplantation.

We thrive in ambiguity, operate with scientific integrity, and work collaboratively to tackle complex challenges that matter.

Our Core Values:

Energizing & Inspiring – Purpose-driven leadership
Innovative Problem Solving – Bold, creative thinking
Humble Competence – Expertise without ego
Relentless Rigor – Scientific integrity and discipline
