Technology Networks: Physician-Scientist Dr. Sid Kerkar of AllerGene AI Pursues In Vivo CAR-T for Severe Allergies After Son's Severe Reaction

AllerGene AI Therapeutics Founder and CEO Dr. Sid Kerkar speaks with Technology Networks about the personal experience that led him to explore in vivo CAR-T for severe allergies. He explains how targeted lipid nanoparticles delivering short-lived mRNA could temporarily program T cells to remove mast cells, the cells at the center of allergic reactions. The interview also covers why transient CAR expression suits chronic, non-malignant disease, and how in vivo engineering compares with traditional CAR-T therapy.
