IN8bio (formerly Incysus Therapeutics, Nasdaq INAB) is a biomedical company specializing in the development of gamma-delta T cell therapies for the treatment of cancer. The business is based on research conducted by Lawrence Lamb at UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center and H. Trent Spencer of the Emory University School of Medicine.

The company is engaged in trials of its gamma-delta T cell immunotherapy treatments for various cancers. UAB's Burt Nabors is lead investigator for the national Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of IMB-400, which targets glioblastoma brain tumors.
