About us
Affini-T is a leading precision immunotherapy company targeting oncogenic driver mutations, beginning with KRAS and TP53, to develop potentially curative therapies for patients with solid tumors. We are advancing two distinct therapeutic modalities encompassing adoptive cellular therapies and bispecific T cell engagers, each designed to harness T cell immunity with unprecedented precision and potency against solid tumors. Our TCR-T cell therapy-enabling platforms utilize state-of-the-art engineering, synthetic biology, and gene editing capabilities to rewrite the rules of the tumor microenvironment and optimize T cell functions. Our bispecific T cell engager platform combines high throughput affinity maturation TCR discovery and biologics format constructions to target oncogenic driver mutations. Building on the world-class innovation inherent in our leadership team, founders, and technologies, we are powered to develop transformational medicines that last.
