About
There is more innovation in cancer research today than ever before. Many of these efforts are disjointed and silo-ed and as a result often do not reach their full potential. If we can capture that potential, we believe it could greatly benefit cancer patients.
Cullinan uniquely applies open innovation to the development of scientific oncology assets. Our approach breaks down silos, encourages new ways of thinking and collaboration, and ultimately turns ideas and inspiration into novel executable therapeutic concepts. Through both internal and external means, we seek to develop assets that have the potential to dramatically improve the lives of those living with cancer.

Our Approach
Cullinan Management is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a diversified pipeline of targeted oncology and immuno-oncology therapies with transformative potential for cancer patients.
Our strategy is to build a pipeline of therapeutic candidates that are uncorrelated across multiple dimensions, with a focus on assets that we believe have novel technology, employ differentiated mechanisms, are in a more advanced stage of development than competing candidates, or have a combination of these attributes.
Team
At the core of any great company is its people. The Cullinan team is a group of accomplished professionals that share a vision for eradicating cancer.
