Lava debuted in May of 2018 with $18.9 million, a platform built around something called gamma delta cells and a plan, apparently, of saying nothing else for the next two years. They never announced a program and they did not issue another press release for the next 20 months.

In May, though, the Dutch-American biotech announced a partnership on cancer bispecifics with J&J. And today, CEO Steve Hurly is ready to talk about what they’ve been working on for the last two years in Utrecht and Philadelphia – as well as the $83 million they raised from Novo, Sanofi and others to bring that work into the clinic next year.
