Overview
Precision Biologics is a private, clinical-stage biotech founded in 2014 and headquartered in Rockville, MD, with an additional office in Bethesda. The company's core asset is a proprietary library of patient tumor-derived cancer vaccines and antigens, originally developed by immunotherapy pioneer Dr. Ariel Hollinshead. This platform enables the discovery of novel, tumor-specific targets for the development of monoclonal antibodies and ADCs, positioning the company in the targeted oncology space with a focus on both therapeutics and companion diagnostics. Leadership is anchored by CEO Dr. Philip M. Arlen, who continues the scientific legacy of his father, Dr. Myron Arlen.
Technology Platform
Proprietary discovery platform based on a historic library of patient tumor-derived cancer vaccines, antibodies, and tumor-associated antigens (from Dr. Ariel Hollinshead). The platform is used to identify novel, tumor-specific targets for monoclonal antibody and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) development.

Competitive Landscape
Precision Biologics competes in the crowded and rapidly evolving field of targeted oncology, specifically against numerous biotech and pharma companies developing monoclonal antibodies and ADCs. Its differentiation hinges on the novelty and tumor-specificity of its targets derived from its unique historical library, competing on scientific innovation rather than resource scale.
