Highlights discovery of novel targets in T cell-driven autoimmune disorders; initial findings to be presented at the ACR Convergence 2025 September 17, 2025 07:00 ET | Source: TScan Therapeutics, Inc. WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced the acceptance of two abstracts, one as an oral presentation and another as a poster presentation, at the upcoming American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2025 being held October 24 – 29 in Chicago, IL. “While we remain focused on oncology, our proprietary TargetScan technology is also well suited for identifying novel targets in T cell-driven autoimmune disorders,” said Gavin MacBeath, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to present our initial findings at the upcoming ACR Convergence. Among other discoveries, we believe we have identified several shared T-cell targets in Ankylosing Spondylitis. Therapeutic targets for AS have remained elusive despite decades of research and these recent novel discoveries, which are critical to advancing the next generation of therapeutics for autoimmune disorders, highlight the power of our TargetScan technology.” Oral Presentation Details: Title: TargetScan Platform Identifies Targets of CD8+ T cells in Ankylosing Spondylitis and Birdshot UveitisAuthors: Adam Weinheimer, Olivia Pryor, Catalina Burbano, Tyler Heath, Livio Dukaj, Shoshana Bloom, Jackson Lirette, Alexander Cristofaro, Laurie Barefoot, Shrikanta Chattopadhyay, Andrew Ferretti, Cagan GurerAbstract Number: 0888Session Name: Abstracts: T Cell Biology & Targets in Autoimmune & Inflammatory DiseaseSession Date/Time: Monday, October 27; 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Central TimePresentation Time: 10:45 - 11:00 a.m. Central Time Location: Poster Hall Poster Presentation Details: Title: Identification of Novel HLA Class II–Restricted Autoantigens in Scleroderma and Ulcerative Colitis Using TargetScanAuthors: Olivia Pryor, Catalina Burbano, Nathaniel Bagge, Rutuja Kulkarni, Heather F Jones, Livio Dukaj, Shoshana Bloom, Jackson Lirette, Candace Perullo, Jinyu Zhu, Teagan Parsons, Ira Jain, Rakshika Balasubramaniyam, Kenneth L Jahan, Vivin Karthik, Alexander Cristofaro, Laurie Barefoot, Shrikanta Chattopadhyay, Kim M Cirelli, Mollie M Jurewicz, Andrew Ferretti, Cagan GurerAbstract Number: 0997Session Name: T Cell Biology & Targets in Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disease PosterSession Date/Time: Monday, October 27; 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Central TimeLocation: Poster Hall A copy of the presentation materials will be added to the “Publications” section of the Company’s website at tscan.com once presentations have concluded.
