The company plans to utilize the funds raised to advance its research and development efforts in discovering novel T cell receptor (TCR) therapeutics.
Primarily focused on cancer indications and inflammatory disorders, T-Therapeutics aims to harness the power of T cell biology to create safe and effective treatments for these conditions. The company, which was spun off from the University of Cambridge, is led by CEO Allan Bradley and boasts a team of experts in various fields, including mouse genome engineering, biopharmaceutical drug development, single cell genomics, machine-learning, and structural biology. This diverse expertise allows for a culture of creativity and collaboration within the company.
T-Therapeutics is currently developing TCR-based therapeutics using its proprietary OpTiMus® platform, which is based on a fully humanized TCR mouse. This platform provides an abundant source of antigen-specific human TCRs, enabling the creation of "optimal" TCR therapeutics that target multiple classes of diseases. With its innovative approach and strong financial backing, T-Therapeutics is well-positioned to make significant advancements in the development of TCR therapeutics and potentially revolutionize the treatment landscape for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
