Larkspur Biosciences, Inc. is a company based in Watertown, MA that is pioneering a new wave in cancer therapy. Larkspur’s approach targets cancer-intrinsic factors that tumors use to escape immune detection and control to develop new treatment options for patients who cannot be helped by current therapies. The company is advancing first-in-class programs designed to eliminate tumor “bottlenecks” that drive immune evasion in colorectal cancer (CRC) and beyond. Larkx, the company’s proprietary bioinformatics platform, couples machine learning with tumor genetics to discover immune evasion pathways that originate in the tumor and enrich clinical strategies for potential responders to its therapies across multiple types of cancer. The company was founded by Nathanael S. Gray, Vijay Kumar Kuchroo, and Lewis Clayton Cantley. The CEO is Catherine Sabatos-Peyton.
