Precision Immunotherapies for Solid Tumors Built on Functional Biology at the Single-Cell Level

Where conventional discovery tests binders sequentially over months, our TCELERATORTM platform profiles more than 10 million single-cell interactions at once, identifying functional leads in a single experiment.

We further combine this platform with computational engineering and translational immunology into a unified engine to develop more selective and safer therapeutics, starting with next-generation T-cell engagers against both surface and intracellular cancer targets.

Powered by Our Unified Engine

Rather than approaching drug development as a series of disconnected steps, ShennonBio seamlessly integrates target discovery, functional screening of binders, computational optimization, and predictive safety assessment to enable faster iteration and deeper biological insight.

This biology-driven approach is enabled by proprietary human tumor datasets built through an expanding network of academic and clinical collaborators across 15 institutions, and 6,000 square feet of laboratory and office space in San Francisco near UCSF Mission Bay.
