Pursuing More Potent and Durable Immune Responses for Cancer
Our approach is anticipated to work in patients with weakened immune systems and facilitate a therapeutic response. We have built a portfolio of immunotherapies which are designed to target a range of tumor types including certain lung, gastric and esophageal cancers. We are also working to develop immunotherapies using our unique approach to target Head & Neck cancers, Lung squamous cell carcinoma and cervical cancer. We believe that targeting tumor cells via recognition of unique HLA-peptide complexes on tumor cells with multi-specific antibodies presents a meaningful opportunity to expand the benefits of immunotherapy to more patients.
Gritstone is excited to announce that we have partnered with MBC Biolabs, one of the Bay Area’s leading biotech incubators, at their San Carlos location.
With 8-10 applicants for every space that opens and over $20 billion in raised capital, MBC Biolabs has become the most exclusive life science incubator in the Bay Area, offering state-of-the-art facilities, instrumentation, and equipment as well as operational support.
