Engineered T cell receptor therapies for solid tumour cancers

Adaptimmune is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered T cell receptor therapies targeting solid tumours.

The company's T-cell platform engineers T cell receptors with enhanced affinity for cancer-associated antigens, enabling immune recognition of tumour cells that evade conventional therapies.

The company is headquartered in Philadelphia with UK research operations at Milton Park.
