Au­to­lus en­gi­neers a $100M-plus IPO for it­self as it blue­prints a new gen­er­a­tion of bet­ter, safer cell ther­a­pies

The Lon­don-based T cell en­gi­neers at Au­to­lus are steer­ing the com­pa­ny to a $100 mil­lion-plus IPO, hop­ing to bank on a so far in­sa­tiable ap­petite for a new gen­er­a­tion of cell ther­a­pies built to out­strip the pi­o­neers in the mar­ket.

Helmed by Mi­cromet vet Chris­t­ian Itin, Au­to­lus has been tout­ing its ear­ly-stage ap­proach to CD19 bind­ing with a quick dis­en­gage­ment strat­e­gy that they be­lieve will great­ly re­duce the risk of cy­tokine storms that fre­quent­ly af­flict pa­tients — a tox­i­c­i­ty that has lim­it­ed their ini­tial use.
