A2 Bio­ther­a­peu­tics nabs $71M-plus Se­ries B for se­lec­tive cell ther­a­py pipeline

“It’s quite per­son­al for me and I re­al­ly am dri­ven to make a dif­fer­ence,” said Forak­er, a non-Hodgkin’s lym­phoma sur­vivor. “I know what it’s like to sit in an in­fu­sion chair for hours and get dos­es of chemother­a­py.”
