“This  funding  enables  us  to  broaden  and  accelerate  our  discovery  and  pipeline   generation  efforts  and  to  move  our  first  candidate  into  clinical  development,”  said  John   A.  Orwin,  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  of  Atreca.  “This  first  candidate,   generated  by  our  unique  Discovery  Engine  and  via  our  proprietary  Immune  Repertoire   Capture®  (IRC™)  technology,  represents  a  novel  and  potentially  fundamental  new  class   of  oncology  immunotherapeutics.    We  appreciate  the  support  of  both  our  new  and   existing  investors  as  we  advance  the  Company  to  this  next  stage  of  development.”

“Our  oversubscribed  Series  C  financing  provides  further  validation  of  Atreca’s  ability  to   discover  and  develop  high-­potential  therapeutic  candidates  via  its  unique  approach,”   said  Brian  Atwood,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Atreca.  “The  quality  of  the   investor  syndicate  and  magnitude  of  the  round  reflects  the  value  we  have  built  in  our   discovery  capabilities  and  the  progress  we  have  made  in  our  preclinical  programs  since   our  Series  B  financing  just  a  year  ago.”

Cowen  served  as  exclusive  placement  agent  for  the  financing.
