Our Mission
Outpace Bio pioneered the design of new biological function. Now we’re building a future where all cell therapies are effective and safe.
Today, only a tiny fraction of cancers can be cured. This is because cancer is a complex biological system, and our bodies have learned to make the wrong decisions as they fight. Our immune system evolved to beat back infections, not our own cells. Even the most advanced cancer treatments fail to address this.
Rather than one gene or one protein solutions that reuse existing biomolecules, we need to create better biology that can address the multiple mechanisms that stand in the way of curing tumors.
Proteins are the biological unit of function. Creating new ones will transform medicine.
Natural proteins represent only a sliver of the potential biological universe. By designing new protein functions, Outpace Bio™* can guide cells to recognize and eliminate cancer in the body. Our co-founders pioneered a new era in protein design, shifting from designing structures to new biological functions.
We know that cell therapies have the potential to cure cancer, but less than ~5% of cancer burden can be addressed with existing technology.
To cure solid tumors, multiple problems must be solved simultaneously: 1) the tumor suppresses our immune response, 2) the cell therapy does not persist, and 3) the cell therapy has limited potency, safety, and specificity.
By programming cells to make the right decisions inside patients, Outpace Bio™ technologies stimulate productive immune responses in the tumor microenvironment (OUTSMART™), enable potent and persistent cell therapy activity (OUTLAST™), and maximize the potency (OUTSPACERS™), safety (OUTSAFE™) and specificity (CO-LOCKR™) of cell therapies across diverse cancer indications.
We pioneered the design of new biological function. Now we’re building the future in which all cell therapies are effective and safe.

What is protein design?
Proteins are the biological unit of function. Creating new ones will transform medicine.
Natural proteins represent only a sliver of the potential biological universe. By designing new protein functions, we can guide cells to recognize and eliminate cancer in the body. Our co-founders pioneered a new era in protein design, shifting from designing structures to new biological functions.
Why build cell therapies?
We know that cell therapies have the potential to cure cancer. By programming cells to make the right decisions inside patients, Outpace’s technologies enable potent and persistent cell therapy activity (OutLast™), recruit productive immune responses in the tumor microenvironment (OutSmart™), and drive the specificity and safety of cell therapies across diverse cancer indications.
We’re building a future in which all cell therapies are effective and safe.
