The fundraising comes as the company begins planning for clinical trials of its lead program AB-1015, an ovarian cancer candidate for which FDA IND clearance and first patient dosing are targeted for later this year. </p> <p><a class="btn--small btn--more--reverse" href="https://www.biospace.com/article/releases/arsenal-biosciences-closes-220-million-series-b-financing-to-advance-programmable-cell-therapy-programs-into-clinical-development/?s=80">Read The Article</a></p> </div> </div> <h3> </h3> <h3>Inside MedTech with Dr. Hala Borno </h3> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--40-60"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p>On August 18, 2022 <a href="https://www.triallibrary.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Trial Library</a>, an oncology clinical trials company, emerged from “stealth” to launch as a startup focused on addressing the lack of equity that exists in patient recruitment to oncology clinical trials. Trial Library was developed from research at UCSF by Dr. Hala Borno, an oncologist and experienced health equity researcher, and was developed by UCSF Innovation Ventures’ Engagement and Opportunity Development (EOD) team which focuses on helping launch NewCo’s based on UCSF innovations.</p> <p>Trial Library prioritizes the needs of diverse patient populations and underrepresented patient groups. On the eve of her company launch, UCSF Innovation Ventures’ Sean Karlin posed a few questions about the significance her work has for the future of healthcare. </p> <p><a class="btn--small
