About BioAtla®

BioAtla® is a cancer immunotherapy company that uses its proprietary next generation protein discovery and evolution platform to develop safer and more potent antibody and cell-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The culmination of our protein technologies and more than 150 issued patents and patent applications is our Conditionally Active Biologics™ (CAB) platform, whereby monoclonal antibodies or other biologics can be engineered for selective conditional activation, for example preferential binding under the unique conditions of the tumor microenvironment. This improvement in tumor selectivity helps address the issue of on-target toxicity and improves therapeutic index. BioAtla® is applying these technologies in our own pipeline and in partnerships to ultimately deliver better immunotherapies for cancer.
