Brenus Pharma Presented New Preclinical and Early Clinical Data in Colorectal Cancer During AACR Immuno-Oncology Conference 202619.2.2026 08:50:00 CET | Press release
Brenus Pharma, a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering in vivo “off-the-shelf” immunotherapies, announced the selection of an abstract for a poster presentation at the American Association for Cancer Research Immuno-Oncology (AACRIO) annual conference (February 18-21, 2026), in Los Angeles.
