SURGE Therapeutics Raises $32M Series B Financing to Advance Intraoperative Immunotherapy to Improve Cancer Patient Survival Outcomes Post-Surgery
“The capital that we have raised to date will allow SURGE to generate proof-of-concept event-free survival data with our lead program and advance our second and third programs through Phase 1,” said Michael Goldberg, Ph.D., CEO & Founder, SURGE Therapeutics. “Intraoperative immunotherapy is a platform approach that can potentially confer clinical benefit across multiple cancer types, using different molecules.

Our mission is to ensure that nobody grieves the loss of a loved one due to preventable post-surgical cancer recurrence.”
