About Us

Pioneers in Solid Tumor Cell Therapy

The Tmod™ technology was invented by A2 Bio scientists, leveraging decades of experience across several disciplines of drug discovery science. A2 Bio’s approach is highly integrative and draws heavily from quantitative drug discovery methods pioneered outside the cell therapy field. The Tmod™ technology affords A2 Bio a first-mover advantage to revolutionize the treatment of solid tumors by exploiting the loss of genetic material commonly seen in tumors. We are protecting our technology and planned pipeline products with a broad and deep set of patent filings.
