About Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc.
Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. (@Atarabio) is a pioneer in T-cell
immunotherapy leveraging its novel allogeneic EBV T-cell platform
to develop transformative therapies for patients with serious
diseases including solid tumors, hematologic cancers and autoimmune
disease. With our lead program receiving marketing authorization in
Europe, Atara is the most advanced allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy
company and intends to rapidly deliver off-the-shelf treatments to
patients with high unmet medical need. Our platform leverages the
unique biology of EBV T cells and has the capability to treat a
wide range of EBV-associated diseases, or other serious diseases
through incorporation of engineered CARs (chimeric antigen
receptors) or TCRs (T-cell receptors). Atara is applying this one
platform, which does not require TCR or HLA gene editing, to create
a robust pipeline including: tab-cel for Epstein-Barr virus
positive post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD)
and other EBV-driven diseases; ATA188, a T-cell immunotherapy
targeting EBV antigens as a potential treatment for multiple
sclerosis; and multiple next-generation chimeric antigen receptor
T-cell (CAR-T) immunotherapies for both solid tumors and
hematologic malignancies. Improving patients’ lives is our mission
and we will never stop working to bring transformative therapies to
those in need. Atara is headquartered in Southern California. For
