Company Overview

Janux Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapies. The firm leverages its proprietary Tumor Activated T Cell Engager (TRACTr) platform technology to create treatments designed to activate the body's T cells to fight tumors. Currently, Janux has several promising TRACTr product candidates in their early preclinical or discovery stages, which are engineered to target specific antigens such as prostate-specific membrane antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor, and trophoblast cell surface antigen 2.
