San Diego, CA- based Caliber Associates recently placed Stephen Gould, Ph.D. as the Chief Scientific Officer of Atreca, Inc. Atreca is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapeutics generated through a unique discovery platform based on interrogation of the active human immune response.

“Stephen is an exceptional scientific leader with particular experience in the development of weaponized antibody-based therapeutics, and we are excited to welcome him to the Atreca team,” said John Orwin, Chief Executive Officer of Atreca. “Our discovery platform has proven to be highly productive in generating promising tumor-selective lead antibodies against novel targets and target epitopes, and Stephen’s expertise will be invaluable as we continue to build and advance our preclinical pipeline.”

Dr. Gould is joining Atreca following 15 years at Genentech, where he held positions of increasing responsibility, most recently serving as Executive Director, Translational Oncology. At Genentech, Dr. Gould led a team focused on developing tumor specific antibodies weaponized with immune-targeting arms or drug payloads for use in both hematologic and solid tumors, including two approved medicines.

About Atreca, Inc.

Atreca is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel antibody-based immunotherapeutics generated by its differentiated discovery platform. Atreca’s platform allows access to an unexplored landscape in oncology through the identification of unique antibody-target pairs generated by the human immune system during an active immune response against tumors. These antibodies provide the basis for first-in-class therapeutic candidates, such as our lead product candidate ATRC-101, a monoclonal antibody targeting a novel ribonucleoprotein complex, as well as ATRC-301, an antibody drug conjugate targeting a novel epitope on EphA2. A Phase 1b study evaluating ATRC-101 in multiple solid tumor cancers is currently enrolling patients, and ATRC-301 is in IND-enabling studies.
