Description
OncoMed Pharmaceuticals was founded in August 2004 by Drs. Michael F. Clarke and Max Wicha who led the discovery of "cancer stem cells". Cancer stem cells are a recently characterized type of rare tumor cell believed to seed the growth of cancers and underlie cancer's ability to take root in tissues (metastasize). OncoMed's mission is to translate the company's ground-breaking insights into novel medicines capable of eradicating these tumor "progenitor" cells to halt the spread of solid tumors.
