Hinge Bio, Inc. is a privately-held biotechnology company leveraging its powerful GEM-⁠DIMER™ platform to develop therapeutics that address the problems of resistance, inadequate efficacy, and side effects in the fields of inflammatory disease, cancer and infectious disease. GEM-DIMER™ technology is broadly applicable to all antibody-based therapeutics and antibody-based cellular therapies that would benefit from the ability to engage multiple targets with high affinity.

The GEM-DIMER technology uniquely enables (i) cooperative binding to disease targets allowing for orders-of-magnitude enhanced activity and (ii) greater degrees of multivalency and multispecificity than possible with conventional approaches, to produce molecules with entirely new functionality for superior safety and efficacy.
