Our Story: Founded on Breakthrough Science

Orbis was founded by Dr. Thomas Wagner, an internationally-renowned, award-winning pioneer of biomedical research and molecular biology. Dr. Wagner’s personal and scientific journey led him to develop and patent transgenic technology which has revolutionized the way we research cancer today.

He was also among the first to develop methods of cell-based therapies, and for the past two decades, Dr. Wagner’s research has focused exclusively on the application of modern molecular and cellular biology to the development of new therapies for the treatment of cancer.

Dr. Wagner has served as a scientific advisor to the World Health Organization, to the U.S. Congress, and to the White House under former President Ronald Reagan. Based on over 50 years of Dr. Wagner’s breakthrough scientific research and discovery, Orbis’ cutting-edge technology can deliver therapeutic opportunities for currently intractable diseases.

A Novel Approach

As one of South Carolina’s premier scientific research centers, Orbis has an unparalleled track record when it comes to clinical impact and excellence.

Our researchers have collaborated to turn radical ideas into life-changing realities, from creating personalized therapeutic cancer vaccines to an immunology-based serum that regenerates and renews damaged skin.

We believe our unique approach to research leads to new, creative approaches that overcome barriers and improve clinical outcomes.

This combined with our adaptiveness and resourcefulness make Orbis well-suited to tackle and identify innovative and revolutionary solutions to some of medicine’s toughest challenges.
