at tcr2 therapeutics we have a bold vision – to cure cancer by using our immune system in a more natural way. we have developed a unique proprietary truc™ platform based on t cell receptor fusion constructs that have the advantage of employing the full signaling power inherent to a complete t cell receptor (tcr). our truc™ variants can reprogram the natural tcr complex to recognize specific antigens found on tumors where they elicit rapid killing of cancer cells. we have demonstrated activity against both hematological and solid tumor targets in preclinical models and we believe truc™-t cells will serve as the engine for novel therapies which we are quickly advancing towards the clinic. the company was founded in 2015 by dr. patrick baeuerle and backed with a $44.5m series a financing led by mpm capital and f2 ventures. we have since assembled a world class team of immunotherapy experts and entrepreneurs located in the heart of kendall square in cambridge, ma.
