Cell ther­a­py biotech shifts fo­cus to UK, makes deep cuts to US head­count

It’s been less than two months since In­stil Bio re­vealed it would cut 60% of its US-based staff as the biotech scrapped its lead cell ther­a­py to fo­cus on next-gen ef­forts — but ex­ecs are al­ready go­ing for the next round of lay­offs.

In an ex­ten­sion of its work­force re­duc­tion, In­stil Bio is shrink­ing its US-based team to around 15 em­ploy­ees who will lead glob­al busi­ness op­er­a­tions. It marks a stark move for a com­pa­ny that’s head­quar­tered in Dal­las and pre­vi­ous­ly re­port­ed leas­ing of­fices in Greater Los An­ge­les as well as oth­er parts of the US, and that count­ed more than 450 em­ploy­ees around the world just over a year ago.
