1. | Organization and Description of Business
Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation (“we,” “us” or “our”) is a commercial-stage company advancing the field of immune medicine by harnessing the inherent biology of the adaptive immune system to transform the diagnosis and treatment of disease. We believe the adaptive immune system is nature’s most finely tuned diagnostic and therapeutic for most diseases, but the inability to decode it has prevented the medical community from fully leveraging its capabilities. Our immune medicine platform applies our proprietary technologies to read the diverse genetic code of a patient’s immune system and aims to understand precisely how the immune system detects and treats disease in that patient. We capture these insights in our dynamic clinical immunomics database, which is underpinned by computational biology and machine learning, and use them to develop and commercialize clinical products and services that we are tailoring to each individual patient. We have commercial products and services and a robust pipeline of clinical products and services that we are designing to diagnose, monitor and enable the treatment of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. We were incorporated in the State of Washington on September 8, 2009 under the name Adaptive TCR Corporation. On December 21, 2011, we changed our name to Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation. We are headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Digital Biotechnologies, Inc. In 2021, we formed a subsidiary, Spin Technologies, Inc., to facilitate the development of a potential new early-stage sequencing technology that is ancillary to our core business. In February 2022, the subsidiary’s name was changed to Digital Biotechnologies, Inc. We have a 70% ownership interest in Digital Biotechnologies, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances between us and Digital Biotechnologies, Inc. have been eliminated in consolidation. The remaining interest, held by certain of our related parties and related family trusts, was reported as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements.
