Atreca Is Doing More Than Just Creating A Buzz At BIO CEO 2018
Tito Serafini (L), Ph.D., president, CEO, and founder of Atreca, and Rob Wright (R), Feb. 12, 2018.

When invited to host the BIO Buzz Center during the 2018 BIO CEO & Investor Conference in New York City on behalf of Life Science Leader magazine, I did not know who I’d be interviewing, just that I’d be doing about five video interviews with a number of top industry executives. One of those executives was Tito Serafini, Ph.D., president, CEO, and founder of Atreca, a privately held biotechnology company. Atreca’s proprietary technologies enable the company to analyze clinically relevant immune responses of patients in a manner not possible previously, helping to drive the discovery and development of novel immunotherapies, including those in its lead programs in immuno-oncology. Atreca is the second biopharmaceutical company Serafini has founded (the first being Renovis) following an award-winning career as a faculty member in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, where he established the university’s Functional Genomics Laboratory. Below is my short BIO Buzz Center video interview with Serafini.
