Cellectis (CLLS) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Cellectis is a biotechnology company focused on developing gene-edited cell and gene therapies, with an emphasis on treatments for cancer. Founded in France in 1999, the company operates in France and the United States.

Its research centers on TALEN gene-editing technology, which it uses to modify cells for potential therapeutic applications.
