(RTTNews) - Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ATNM) has entered into a research collaboration with Columbia University to study Actimab-A, its clinical-stage CD33 targeting radiotherapeutic, with engineered hematopoietic stem cells modified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to knock out CD33 expression. Avinash Desai, Actinium's Chief Medical Officer, said: "We are honored to be working with Dr. Mukherjee and his team at Columbia University in this exciting collaboration.
