Genocea Biosciences

Genocea Biosciences, Inc. engages in the development and commercialization of cancer immunotherapies. The firm is engaged in discovering and developing cancer immunotherapies using its proprietary ATLAS platform. The ATLAS platform can profile each patient's CD4+ and CD8+ T cell immune responses to every potential target or antigen identified by next-generation sequencing of that patient's tumor. ATLAS zeroes in on both antigens that activate anti-tumor T cell responses and inhibitory antigens, or Inhibigens, that drive pro-tumor immune responses. Its GEN-009 is an investigational neoantigen vaccine delivering adjuvanted synthetic long peptides from ATLAS-identified neoantigens. The firm has a license agreement with Harvard College (Harvard), granting the Company a sublicensable license to one patent family, to develop, make, use, market licensed products, and perform licensed services related to the ATLAS discovery platform.
