Cambridge, Mass., June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PineTree Therapeutics, Inc., an emerging leader in pioneering the development of disruptive therapies in Oncology, Immuno-oncology and other diseases, announced that the company has raised $23.5 Million for Series A1 funding.

According to HoJuhn Song, Co-Founder and CEO of PineTree Therapeutics, the company has developed a highly differentiated platform to solve the world's difficult-to-treat diseases, which require unconventional approaches to deliver a new paradigm on providing real and meaningful benefits for patients. "Our approaches range from the degradation of drug resistant-oncogenic and immuno-oncology receptors, in situ cancer vaccination, to even anti-viral infection therapeutics, which is one of a kind and has never been tried before. Our leading bispecific antibody candidate is a first-in-class molecule in non-small cell lung cancer to degrade all tested EGFR mutants and expected to be dominant in the therapeutic field of EGFR TKI resistant tumors and EGFR mutated tumors."
