Boston, MA, USA
Tango Therapeutics develops targeted cancer treatments using the principle of synthetic lethality, which allows them to design drugs that kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Their approach focuses on the interaction between genes, where the loss of both genes leads to cell death, but the loss of just one does not. This method enables them to create more effective therapies for cancer patients. Tango operates in the oncology market, primarily serving healthcare providers like hospitals and cancer treatment centers, as well as pharmaceutical companies seeking advanced cancer therapies. They collaborate with larger pharmaceutical firms, such as Gilead Sciences, to co-develop new drugs, which helps them secure funding and speed up the development process. Tango's goal is to bring next-generation targeted immunotherapies to market, supported by a strong team and strategic partnerships.
