Biotech Associate, Early Career (FTC)

We want to solve immune dysfunction.

Many cancers and other diseases are caused, or resist treatment, because T cells can\’t recognize or target cells correctly. We\’re progressing first-in-class antigen modulators through the clinic, developed to treat disease by controlling T cell activation. Our technology modulates antigen presentation, flicking a switch inside cells to alter their appearance to the immune system.

This approach marks a fundamental shift in how we treat people living with autoimmune disorders, cancers and infectious diseases.
