Caribou Biosciences plans to trim its workforce and shift its pipeline as it looks to focus on its lead oncology programs.
The Berkeley, Calif.-biopharmaceutical company on Thursday said it plans to reduce its workforce by about 32%. Such cuts would amount to roughly 47 employees, based on the total workforce of 147 full-time employees according to its latest annual filing.
The company is also discontinuing preclinical research as well as Phase 1 trials of treatments for lupus and relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
Caribou Biosciences expects cash payments from the workforce reduction and strategic pipeline prioritization to total $2.5 million to $3.5 million.
The changes will extend Caribou's cash runway by one year, funding the current operating plan into the second half of 2027, it said.
