Engage Bio

mRNA Immunotherapies to Eliminate CancerEngage Bio is developing mRNA immunotherapies to eliminate cancer. Our founders have deep experience in immunotherapy development, including four drugs in the clinic, and in building mRNA therapeutics platforms. In the last four months, we have moved from concept to fully working drugs which have eliminated human tumors in mice. We achieve this by delivering mRNA directly to the tumors, providing instructions for these cells to make and gradually release our drugs. This local therapy allows us to completely eliminate the cancer while sparing distant healthy tissues.
