We established ImmunityBio to advance the next generation of immunotherapies and to address serious unmet needs within oncology and infectious diseases. Our platform is designed to overcome limitations of the existing therapeutic paradigm based on T cell-based immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, or CAR-T cells.

Fundamentally, our platform promotes innate and adaptive immune responses by activating cytokines, natural killer, or NK, cells, T cells and tumoricidal macrophages, and seeks to establish “immunological memory” to support longer-term protection against disease. We believe our novel approach significantly improves upon standard immunotherapies to induce more rapid, robust and durable clinical benefit.
