Enara Bio raises $32.5 million Series B financing to advance first-in-class pipeline of TCR-based immunotherapies targeting novel Dark Antigens®
“We are delighted to have the backing of these sophisticated investors as we strive to develop novel immunotherapies that can provide durable clinical benefit for broad populations of cancer patients,” said Kevin Pojasek, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer of Enara Bio. “Earlier this year, our EDAPT platform received strong external validation when Boehringer Ingelheim decided to exercise its option to license multiple Dark Antigens to develop off-the-shelf immunotherapies for lung cancer. The fundraise we are announcing today, led by two new strategic investors, reflects the quality of our science and further underlines not only the groundbreaking potential of Dark Antigens, but also our internal pipeline of first-in-class immunotherapies.”
