French biotech firm ImCheck Therapeutics has raised $53m (€48m) in a Series B funding round to develop its gamma delta (γδ) T-cell-based antibodies to treat cancer and autoimmune disorders.
Gilead’s Kite Pharma has snagged an option to buy gamma delta T-cell receptor (TCR) startup Gadeta. The deal sees Kite take a stake in Gadeta and commit to milestones tied to the progress of oncology candidates.
