Gritstone Bio
Gritstone is developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer and infectious disease. Gritstone’s approach seeks to generate a therapeutic immune response by leveraging insights into the immune system’s ability to recognize and destroy diseased cells by targeting select antigens. We started with a focus on tumor-specific neoantigens, and more recently extended our programs to include viral antigens displayed on the surface of virus-infected cells. The biology underlying immune system recognition of targets on the surface of abnormal cells is common to both anti-tumor and anti-viral immunity. Consequently, we believe that activating and directing the immune system to these targets could offer an important opportunity to extend the benefits of immunotherapy for more patients. We were founded in August 2015 and are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol GRTS.
