Calidi through the years

2014 – 2016

The company was founded in 2014, and is based in San Diego, California. Calidi’s first patents were filed in 2015, and later awarded to Calidi for coverage in the United States and in key international territories. The patents encompass several patent families foundational to our SuperNova technology, used alone, and in combination with modern immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors.

2016 – Present

In 2016, Calidi acquired our wholly-owned subsidiary, based in Bernried, Germany, which is a pillar in the company’s Research & Development and Process Development activities. In 2021 Calidi exclusively licensed the NeuroNova technology from Northwestern University and the City of Hope. This technology was developed over 15 years, and has shown strong indications of efficacy in published clinical trial results.
