Organization | 1. Organization Sana Biotechnology, Inc. (the Company or Sana) is a biotechnology company focusing on utilizing engineered cells as medicines. The Company’s operations to date have included identifying and developing potential product candidates, executing preclinical studies, establishing manufacturing capabilities, acquiring technology, organizing and staffing the Company, business planning, establishing the Company’s intellectual property portfolio, raising capital, and providing general and administrative support for these operations. Reverse stock split In January 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-4 Initial public offering In February 2021, the Company successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock. In connection with its IPO, the Company issued 27.0 million shares of its common stock, including 3.5 million shares pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price of $25.00 per share, and received $626.4 million in net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $45.2 million and offering expenses of $4.0 million. At the closing of the IPO, 134.1 million shares of convertible preferred stock then outstanding were automatically converted into shares of common stock. The related carrying value of the converted preferred stock of $852.9 million was reclassified to common stock and additional paid in-capital. Need for additional capital The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties similar to other biotechnology companies in the development stage, including, but not limited to, those related to the need to obtain adequate additional funding, possible failure of preclinical testing or clinical trials, the need to obtain marketing approval for its product candidates, building out internal and external manufacturing capabilities, competitors developing new technological innovations, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of the Company’s products, the need to protect the Company’s intellectual property and proprietary technology, and the need to attract and retain key scientific and management personnel. If the Company does not successfully commercialize or partner any of its product candidates, it will be unable to generate product revenue or achieve profitability. Until such time as the Company can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, it expects to finance its operations with the proceeds from additional equity or debt financings or capital obtained in connection with strategic collaborations or licensing or other arrangements. In the event that additional financing is required, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. The Company has incurred operating losses each year since inception and expects such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $746.9 million, and an accumulated deficit of $785.4 million, which includes non-cash charges related to the revaluation of the success payment liabilities and contingent consideration of $100.1 million and $102.5 million, respectively. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to success payment liabilities, contingent consideration, business combinations, accrued expenses, operating lease right of use assets and liabilities, and the valuation of stock options. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions and are stated at fair value. Marketable securities Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale debt securities and are carried at fair value, which is derived from independent pricing sources based on quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. Investments in securities with maturities of less than one year, or those for which management intends to use to fund current operations, are included in current assets. Unrealized gains and losses that are deemed to be temporary in nature are reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss). Amortization, accretion, and dividends are included in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether declines in fair value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance through other income (expense), net. Concentrations of credit risk and off-balance sheet risk The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with high quality, accredited financial institutions. These amounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant risk on these funds. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts, or other hedging arrangements. Fair value measurement The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value and is required to disclose information that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used to determine the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term marketable securities, accounts payable, contingent consideration, success payment liabilities, and other accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. To the extent the valuation of financial instruments is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. See Note 6, Fair value measurements for more information on how the Company determines fair value. Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in other income (expense), net in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses since inception. Acquisitions The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired, including in-process research and development (IPR&D), and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the estimated fair value of these items requires significant estimates and assumptions. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are recorded in general and administrative expense as they are incurred. If the Company determines the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, up-front payments allocated to IPR&D are recorded in research and development expense if it is determined that there is no alternative future use, and subsequent milestone payments are recorded in research and development expense when achieved. Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. The evaluation for impairment includes assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of net assets is below the carrying amount. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had goodwill of $140.6 million related to the 2019 acquisition of Cobalt, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. There have been no impairments of goodwill since the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the IPR&D is estimated using the replacement cost method. Under this method, the Company estimates the cost to recreate the technology and derive an estimated value to develop the technology. IPR&D assets are required to be classified as indefinite-lived assets and are not amortized until they become finite-lived assets upon the successful completion of the associated research and development technology. At that time, the useful life of the asset will be determined, and amortization will begin. If the associated research and development technology is abandoned, the related IPR&D asset will be written off and an impairment charge recorded. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. As of December 31, 2021, there was no amortization or impairments of the intangible asset. Contingent consideration from business combinations Contingent consideration from a business combination is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and remeasured at each subsequent reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. Changes in fair values reflect changes to the Company’s assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones, the timing in which the milestones are expected to be achieved, and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the obligation. Success payments The Company granted rights to a success payment to Cobalt Biomedicine, Inc. (Cobalt) pursuant to the terms of its acquisition agreement and to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard) pursuant to the terms of its exclusive license agreement. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Note 4, License and collaboration agreements for more details on the success payments. The success payments are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration . For the success payments to Harvard (Harvard Success Payments), both the initial value and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration . To determine the estimated fair value of the success payment liabilities, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the value of the liabilities based on several key assumptions, including the remaining terms of the success payments, risk-free interest rate, estimated number and timing of valuation measurement dates on the basis of which payments may be triggered, and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected volatility is estimated using the volatility of peer companies for a period of time commensurate with the remaining terms of the success payments. Additionally, prior to the IPO, the Cobalt Success Payment liability incorporated the estimated future value of the Company implied by the estimated per share value of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock at issuance, and the Harvard Success Payment liability incorporated the estimated per share value of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock. Concurrent with the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, the Company’s Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock converted into common stock. Subsequent to the IPO, the computation of the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment liability incorporates the market capitalization of the Company at the end of each reporting period, and the computation of the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payments incorporates the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of each reporting period. Leases At the inception of the arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make payments arising from a lease and are measured at the present value of the remaining future lease payments over the term of the lease. The present value of the lease payments is determined using an incremental borrowing rate (IBR), which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow the amount of the lease payments, on a collateralized basis, for a similar term and economic environment. The lease terms may include the impact of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon the occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the right to use the underlying asset identified in the lease for the term of the agreement. The calculation of the ROU asset incorporates the value of the lease liability and excludes any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease portfolio consists of operating leases related to its facilities for office, laboratory, and manufacturing space. The Company does not have any financing leases. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and do not require recognition on the balance sheet, and payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Claims and contingencies From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation and proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is only reasonably possible, or if an adverse outcome is probable, but an estimate is not determinable, the Company provides disclosure of the material claim or contingency. Convertible preferred stock The carrying value of the Company’s Series A-1, Series A-2, and Series B convertible preferred stock was adjusted to reflect dividends if and when declared by the Company’s board of directors. No dividends have been declared by the board of directors since inception. The Company classified its convertible preferred stock outside of permanent equity, as the redemption of such stock was not solely under the control of the Company. The Company recorded its convertible preferred stock at the issuance price on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Concurrent with the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, all of the Company’s convertible preferred stock converted into common stock. Stock-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation costs related to restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock options granted to employees and nonemployees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. For RSAs and RSUs, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is used to determine the resulting stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to apply judgment and make estimates, including: • Fair Value of Common Stock —The fair value of common stock is based on the closing price as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. • Expected Term —The expected term represents the period that a stock-based award is expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the simplified method to determine the expected term, which is based on the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the option. • Expected Volatility — Due to the Company’s limited operating history and lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatilities of common stock of comparable publicly traded entities over a period of time commensurate with the expected term of the stock option grants. The comparable companies are chosen based on their size, stage in the product development cycle, or area of specialty. The Company will continue to apply this process until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of its own stock price becomes available. • Risk-Free Interest Rate— The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the awards. • Expected Dividend— The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. Research and development expense The Company records expense for research and development costs as incurred. Nonrefundable, advance payments for goods or contracts for services are deferred, and expense is recognized in the period in which the goods are received or the services are rendered. Research and development expense consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, costs for laboratory supplies, costs to acquire and license technologies aligned with our goal of translating engineered cells to medicines, facility and other allocated expenses, including rent, depreciation, and allocated overhead costs, and other research and development expenses. Research and development related success payment and contingent consideration Research and development related success payments and contingent consideration include the change in the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment and Harvard Success Payment liabilities and Cobalt Contingent Consideration. Research and development expense related to the success payment liabilities and contingent consideration is unpredictable and may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to changes in the assumptions used in the calculations. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation, for employees in finance, legal, executive, human resources, information technology, and other administrative functions, legal and consulting fees, recruiting costs, and facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses. Legal fees include those related to corporate and patent matters. Income taxes The Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be recovered. The Company applies judgment in the determination of the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes any material interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (U.S.) federal jurisdiction, and other state and local jurisdictions. The Company is generally subject to examination by U.S. federal and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which the loss carryforward is available. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other jurisdictions for any tax years. Segments Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. JOBS Act accounting election The Company is an emerging growth company (EGC), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, an EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies; however, the Company may adopt new or revised accounting standards early if the standard allows for early adoption. In addition, the Company will utilize other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided to EGCs by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, an EGC is not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), or (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

Acquisitions | 3. Acquisitions Oscine Corp. In September 2020, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity of Oscine Corp. (Oscine), a privately-held early-stage biotechnology company whose primary asset was IPR&D related to its ex vivo The Company evaluated the acquisition and determined the screen test, as permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations The Company is required to make up to an aggregate of $225.8 million in future milestone payments upon the achievement of certain development and commercial milestones. Cytocardia, Inc. In November 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Cytocardia, Inc. (Cytocardia), a privately-held early-stage biotechnology company whose primary asset was IPR&D related to its ex vivo The Company evaluated the acquisition and determined the screen test, as permitted under ASC 805, Business Combinations The Company is required to make future milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $140.0 million upon the achievement of certain pre-specified development and commercial milestones. Cobalt Biomedicine, Inc. In February 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity in Cobalt, a privately-held early-stage biotechnology company developing a platform technology using its fusogen technology to specifically and consistently deliver various biological payloads to cells. The Company issued 36.4 million shares of its Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, valued at $136.0 million, in consideration for this transaction. Of the 36.4 million shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock issued, 12.1 million shares were restricted based on the achievement of a pre-specified development milestone, which was achieved in July 2019. Additionally, 0.7 million RSAs and 0.3 million RSUs were granted to former employees of Cobalt. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Cobalt converted into common stock. The Company accounted for the Cobalt acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The elements of the purchase consideration are as follows (in thousands): Series A-2 convertible preferred stock issued (1) $ 97,178 First milestone - restricted Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (2) 38,769 Success payment (3) 2,428 Fair value of contingent consideration (4) 51,248 Other 66 Total consideration $ 189,689 (1) The purchase consideration included 24.3 million shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. The value of the stock issued was $4.00 per share, equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock financing that occurred in February 2019. (2) The Company concluded the value of the first milestone, to be paid in restricted shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, met the definition of being indexed to common stock. The restricted Series A-2 convertible preferred shares were recorded in convertible preferred stock valued at $38.8 million based on the estimated probability and timing of the milestone achievement on the date of acquisition and are not subject to remeasurement upon achievement of the milestone. In July 2019, the first milestone was achieved, and the Company issued a total of 12.1 million shares of its Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. (3) The fair value of the success payment was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the estimated fair value of the liability based on several key assumptions including the term of the success payment, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, estimated number and timing of valuation measurement dates on the basis of which payment may be triggered, and the estimated future value of the Company implied by the estimated future per share value of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock at issuance. (4) The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted value of the milestone payments based on the assessment of the likelihood and estimated timing that certain milestones would be achieved and using estimated discount rates ranging from 15.3% to 17.6%. The discount rate captures the credit risk associated with the payment of the contingent consideration when earned and due. The allocation of the purchase price is based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. The components of the purchase price allocation are as follows (in thousands): Net working capital $ (3,275 ) Property and equipment 689 Net liabilities assumed (2,586 ) Deferred tax liability (7,547 ) Acquired in-process research and development 59,195 Goodwill 140,627 Total consideration $ 189,689 As part of the Cobalt acquisition, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $59.2 million, which consists of IPR&D that is classified as indefinite-lived until the successful completion of the associated research and development technology, at which point it becomes a finite-lived asset and will be amortized over its estimated useful life. If the research and development technology is abandoned, an impairment charge will be recorded. The Company is actively developing the fusogen technology and, accordingly, the intangible asset is not complete. Amortization will begin when regulatory approval is obtained in a major market, typically either the United States or the European Union. The Company recognized $140.6 million of goodwill as a result of the Cobalt acquisition, which is primarily attributable to the value the acquisition provides the Company by complementing the Company’s ex vivo in vivo Pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Cobalt acquisition agreement, the Company has an obligation to pay to certain former Cobalt stockholders up to an aggregate of $500.0 million in contingent consideration (Cobalt Contingent Consideration) upon the achievement of certain pre-specified development milestones, and a success payment (Cobalt Success Payment) of up to $500.0 million, payable in cash or stock. The Cobalt Success Payment is payable if, at pre-determined valuation measurement dates, including the closing of the Company’s IPO, the Company’s market capitalization equals or exceeds $8.1 billion, and the Company is advancing a program based on the fusogen technology in a clinical trial pursuant to an investigational new drug application (IND), or has filed for, or received approval for, a biologics license application (BLA) or new drug application (NDA). The Cobalt Success Payment can be achieved over a maximum of 20 years from the date of the Cobalt acquisition, but this period could be shorter upon the occurrence of certain events. As of December 31, 2021, a Cobalt Success Payment had not been triggered. In addition to our IPO, a valuation measurement date would be triggered upon a change of control of the Company if at least one Company product based on the fusogen technology is the subject of an active research program at the time of such change of control. If there is a change of control and the Company’s market capitalization is below $8.1 billion as of the date of the change of control, the amount of the potential Cobalt Success Payment will decrease, and the amount of potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration will increase. The following table sets forth various thresholds for the Company’s market capitalizations as of the date of a change of control and the resulting potential Cobalt Success Payment and additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration: Sana market capitalization upon a change of control and resulting impact to Cobalt Success Payment and additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration Cobalt Success Payment Additional potential Cobalt Contingent Consideration (in millions) Equal to or exceeds $8.1 billion $ 500 $ - Equal to or exceeds $7.4 billion, but less than $8.1 billion 150 350 Equal to or exceeds $6.8 billion, but less than $7.4 billion 100 400 Less than $6.8 billion - 500 The Cobalt Success Payment and Cobalt Contingent Consideration liabilities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment liability was $88.3 million and $64.7 million, respectively, and was recorded in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was $153.7 million, of which $51.4 million was recorded in short-term liabilities and $102.3 million was recorded in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was $121.9 million and was recorded in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 the Company recognized $23.6 million, $62.3 million, and an immaterial amount, respectively, |

License and Collaboration Agreements | 4. License and collaboration agreements Beam Therapeutics Inc. In October 2021, the Company entered into an option and license agreement with Beam Therapeutics Inc. (Beam), pursuant to which the Company was granted a non-exclusive license to use Beam’s proprietary CRISPR Cas12b nuclease editing technology to research, develop, and commercialize engineered cell therapy products that (i) are directed to certain antigen targets, with respect to the Company’s allogeneic T cell programs, or (ii) comprise certain human cell types, with respect to the Company’s stem cell-derived programs. The Company made an upfront payment of $50.0 million to Beam, which was recorded in research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be obligated to pay up to $65.0 million for each licensed product in specified developmental and commercial milestone payments and royalties on licensed products. At the time of the entry into the option and license agreement, a member of the Company’s board of directors was a beneficial owner of greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of Beam and is affiliated with a member of the board of directors of Beam. President and Fellows of Harvard College In March 2019, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Harvard to access certain intellectual property for the development of hypoimmune cells. Under this agreement, the Company paid $3.0 million in cash and issued 2.2 million shares of its Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, valued at $4.00 per share, for total consideration of $12.0 million. The Company determined the licensed technology had no alternative future use and the $12.0 million was therefore recorded in research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2019. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock issued in connection with the license agreement with Harvard converted into common stock. In connection with this agreement, the Company agreed to pay Harvard a license payment of $6.0 million in cash contingent upon the closing of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock financing. This contingent license payment was accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may be required to pay up to an aggregate of $175.0 million in success payments to Harvard, payable in cash, based on increases in the fair value of the Company’s common stock. The potential Harvard Success Payments are based on multiples of increased value ranging from 5x to 40x, based on a comparison of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock relative to the original issuance price of $ 4.00 per share at pre-determined valuation measurement dates , which include: the one year anniversary of the IPO, the date of the consummation of a merger, an asset sale, or the sale of the majority of the shares held by the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stockholders, and the last day of the term of the Harvard Success Payments. The first Harvard valuation measurement date occurred i n February 2022 on the one - year anniversary of the IPO . The threshold was not met, and therefore no payment was made as of measurement date. The aggregate amount of the Harvard Success Payments will not exceed an aggregate of $175.0 million, which payment amount would only occur upon a 40x increase in the fair value of the Company’s common stock Multiple of Equity Value at Issuance 5x 10x 20x 30x 40x Per share common stock price required for payment $ 20.00 $ 40.00 $ 80.00 $ 120.00 $ 160.00 Success payment(s) (in millions) $ 5.0 $ 15.0 $ 30.0 $ 50.0 $ 75.0 The Harvard Success Payment liabilities are carried at fair value, with the initial value and changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liability was $14.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively, of which $5.0 million and $0, respectively, were recorded in short-term liabilities, and $9.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively, were recorded in long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the change in the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liability the Company recognized expenses of $2.4 million, $9.9 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. |

The Level 2 marketable securities include U.S. government, agency securities, and corporate debt securities and are valued based on either recent trades of securities in inactive markets or quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. As of December 31, 2021, all marketable securities had an effective maturity date of two years or less. Securities in an unrealized loss position have been in an unrealized loss position for less than one year. The Company determined that there was no material change in the credit risk of the above investments during the year ended December 31, 2021. As such, an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized. As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not intend to sell such securities, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included net unrealized gains (losses) related to the Company’s available-for-sale debt securities. There were no material realized gains or losses recognized on the sale or maturity of available-for-sale securities during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities: Contingent Consideration Cobalt Success Payment Liability Harvard Success Payment Liability (in thousands) Balance as of December 31, 2020 $ 121,901 $ 64,694 $ 11,800 Changes in fair value - expense (gain) 11,393 91,757 23,900 Balance as of March 31, 2021 133,294 156,451 35,700 Changes in fair value - expense (gain) 7,163 (66,632 ) (16,556 ) Balance as of June 30, 2021 140,457 89,819 19,144 Changes in fair value - expense (gain) (8,476 ) 21,790 3,439 Balance as of September 30, 2021 131,981 111,609 22,583 Changes in fair value - expense (gain) 21,762 (23,256 ) (8,411 ) Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 153,743 $ 88,353 $ 14,172 Contingent consideration The Company utilizes significant estimates and assumptions it believes would be made by a market participant in determining the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted estimated value of the pre-specified development milestone payments based on the assessment of the likelihood and estimated timing that the milestones would be achieved and the applicable discount rates. The discount rate captures the credit risk associated with the payment of the contingent consideration when earned and due. The Company assesses these estimates on an on-going basis as additional data impacting the assumptions are obtained. The fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration was calculated using the following unobservable inputs: December 31, 2021 2020 Unobservable Input Range Weighted-Average Range Weighted-Average Discount rates 10.9% - 11.6% 11.2% 10.5% - 10.8% 10.6% Probability of milestone achievement 5.0% - 75.0% 33.8% 2.5% - 65.0% 27.6% The weighted-average unobservable inputs were calculated based on the relative value of the pre-specified development milestones. The estimated fair value of the Cobalt Contingent Consideration may change significantly as development progresses and additional data are obtained, impacting the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of the milestones used to estimate the fair value of the liability and the timing in which they are expected to be achieved. In evaluating the fair value assumptions, judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Accordingly, the use of different market assumptions, inputs, and/or different valuation techniques could result in materially different fair value estimates. Success payments The Company utilizes significant estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of the success payment liabilities and the associated expense or gain at each balance sheet date. The estimated fair value of the Cobalt and Harvard success payment liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the estimated fair value of the liability based on several key assumptions, including the expected volatility, remaining term, risk-free interest rate, estimated number and timing of valuation measurement dates on the basis of which payment may be triggered, and for the Cobalt Success Payment, the Company’s market capitalization, and for the Harvard Success Payments, the per share fair value of the Company’s common stock. Prior to the IPO, the calculation of the estimated fair value of the success payment liabilities incorporated the estimated future per share value of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock and the estimated future value of the Company implied by the estimated future per share value of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock at issuance. Concurrent with the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, the Company’s Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock converted into common stock. As such, subsequent to the IPO, the computation of the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payment liabilities incorporates the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock, and the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment liability incorporates the market capitalization of the Company. The fair values of the Cobalt and Harvard success payments were calculated using the following unobservable inputs: December 31, 2021 2020 Unobservable Input Cobalt Harvard Cobalt Harvard Expected stock price volatility 70% 70% 70% 70% Expected term (years) 17.1 9.2 18.1 10.2 |

Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and contingencies Lease commitments The Company’s lease portfolio is primarily composed of operating leases for office, laboratory, non-good manufacturing practices (GMP) pilot plant manufacturing, and industrial space located in Seattle, WA, Cambridge, MA, South San Francisco, CA, and Fremont, CA. Our operating leases have contractual periods expiring between April 2024 and November 2031. These leases contain various rent abatement periods, after which they require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. The Seattle and South San Francisco lease agreements each provide the Company with the option to renew for an additional period of five years. The Company is not reasonably certain it will renew these leases, and the renewal options therefore are not considered in the remaining lease term for these leases. The industrial space located in Fremont, CA will be used for the construction of a GMP manufacturing facility. The lease agreement initial term is ten years and includes the option to extend for up to two additional five-year capabilities, and include a lease incentive allowance. The following table contains additional information related to the Company’s operating leases: Location Approximate Square Footage Commencement Dates Expiration Dates Seattle, WA 48,086 March 2019 to September 2020 December 2026 to April 2028 Cambridge, MA 59,639 March 2019 to May 2020 November 2025 to February 2028 South San Francisco, CA 66,075 December 2019 to November 2021 April 2024 to April 2030 Fremont, CA 163,193 July 2021 November 2031 Throughout the term of the lease agreements, the Company is responsible for paying certain operating costs in addition to rent, such as common area maintenance, taxes, utilities, and insurance. These additional charges are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.

Stock-based compensation | 12. Stock-based compensation 2021 Incentive Award Plan In February 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Incentive Award Plan (2021 Plan), which became effective on the completion of the Company’s IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards (RSAs), and restricted stock units (RSUs). In conjunction with adopting the 2021 Plan, the Company discontinued the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan with respect to new equity awards. The 2021 Plan provides for an annual increase in the shares available for issuance thereunder, to be added on the first day of each year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding year, or (ii) such smaller number of shares determined by the board of directors or an authorized committee of the board of directors. As of December 31, 2021, the total number of shares available for future issuance of awards under the 2021 Plan was 13.2 million. As a result of the operation of this provision, on January 1, 2022, an additional 9.5 million shares became available for issuance under the 2021 Plan. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan In February 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2021 ESPP), which became effective on the completion of the Company’s IPO. The 2021 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their earnings, subject to plan limitations. Unless otherwise determined by the Company’s board of directors, employees may purchase shares at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first date of an offering or on the purchase date. The Company may specify offerings with durations of not more than 27 months and may specify shorter purchase periods within each offering. The 2021 ESPP also provides for an annual share increase, to be added on the first day of each year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding year and (ii) such number of shares determined by the board of directors or authorized committee of the board of directors, provided that no more than 27.9 million shares may be issued under the 2021 ESPP. As of December 31, 2021, the total number of shares available for future issuance pursuant to the 2021 ESPP was 1.9 million. As a result of the operation of this provision, on January 1, 2022, an additional 1.9 million shares became available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP.

Income Taxes | 13. Income taxes As of December 31, 2021, the Company had U.S. federal and state tax-effected net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $101.9 million and $12.4 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxable income. As of December 31, 2021, the Company also had federal and state research tax credits of $17.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, which may be used to offset future liabilities. The federal NOL carries forward indefinitely, and the state NOL will begin to expire in 2038. The federal tax credit carryforward will begin to expire in 2038, and the state tax credit will carry forward indefinitely. The NOL and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. In connection with the 2019 Cobalt acquisition, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $ 7.5 million associated with the acquired intangible asset, and the Company recorded a tax benefit of $ 7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the release of valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets as a result of this deferred tax liability . A reconciliation of income taxes computed using the U.S. federal statutory rate to that reflected in operations follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Federal statutory tax 21.00 % 21.00 % 21.00 % State income tax, net of federal benefit 2.75 2.09 3.06 Valuation allowance (24.06 ) (15.18 ) (16.32 ) Success payment liabilities (1.40 ) (4.58 ) - Contingent consideration (1.88 ) (3.89 ) (2.71 ) Tax credits 2.58 1.88 1.93 Other 1.01 (1.32 ) (1.50 ) Effective income tax rate 0.00 % 0.00 % 5.46 % The principal components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 114,368 $ 58,527 Lease liabilities 25,754 16,971 Tax credit carryforwards 24,008 11,908 Intangibles 5,986 - Accrued liabilities and allowances 4,401 3,643 Success payment liabilities 3,290 2,785 Stock-based compensation 1,854 - Other - 25 Gross deferred tax assets 179,661 93,859 Valuation allowance (156,622 ) (70,989 ) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 23,039 22,870 Deferred tax liabilities: Right-of-use assets (21,940 ) (14,577 ) Fixed assets (1,050 ) (935 ) Intangibles - (6,870 ) Stock-based compensation - (488 ) Other (49 ) - Deferred tax liabilities (23,039 ) (22,870 ) Net deferred taxes assets $ - $ - The valuation allowance relates primarily to net U.S. deferred tax assets from operating losses, research tax credit carryforwards, and amounts paid and accrued to enter into various agreements for which the tax treatment requires capitalization and amortization. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its net U.S. deferred tax assets. The assessment regarding whether a valuation allowance is required considers both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. In making this assessment, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. In its evaluation, the Company considered its cumulative loss in the first year of operation and its forecasted losses in the near term as significant negative evidence. Based upon a review of the four sources of income identified within ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes The Company determines its uncertain tax positions based on a determination of whether and how much of the tax benefit the Company takes in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant income tax authorities. The Company is generally subject to examination by U.S. federal and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which the loss carryforward is available. The Company applies judgment in its determination of the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 202 1 and 20 20 , the Company ’s uncertain tax positions were immaterial. |

Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to success payment liabilities, contingent consideration, business combinations, accrued expenses, operating lease right of use assets and liabilities, and the valuation of stock options. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions and are stated at fair value. |
Marketable securities | Marketable securities Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale debt securities and are carried at fair value, which is derived from independent pricing sources based on quoted prices in active markets for similar securities. Investments in securities with maturities of less than one year, or those for which management intends to use to fund current operations, are included in current assets. Unrealized gains and losses that are deemed to be temporary in nature are reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive income (loss). Amortization, accretion, and dividends are included in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific-identification method. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether declines in fair value below carrying value are due to expected credit losses, as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance through other income (expense), net. |
Concentrations of credit risk and off-balance sheet risk | Concentrations of credit risk and off-balance sheet risk The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities with high quality, accredited financial institutions. These amounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant risk on these funds. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts, or other hedging arrangements. |
Fair value measurement | Fair value measurement The Company accounts for certain assets and liabilities at fair value and is required to disclose information that enables an assessment of the inputs used in determining the reported fair values. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs based on the observable nature of those inputs. The hierarchy applies only to the valuation inputs used to determine the reported fair value of the investments and is not a measure of the investment credit quality. The hierarchy defines three levels of valuation inputs: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term marketable securities, accounts payable, contingent consideration, success payment liabilities, and other accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. To the extent the valuation of financial instruments is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. See Note 6, Fair value measurements for more information on how the Company determines fair value. |
Property and equipment, net | Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in other income (expense), net in the period realized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | Impairment of long-lived assets The Company reviews the carrying value and estimated lives of its long-lived assets whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. Should an impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company has not recognized any impairment losses since inception. |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the assets acquired, including in-process research and development (IPR&D), and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The determination of the estimated fair value of these items requires significant estimates and assumptions. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are recorded in general and administrative expense as they are incurred. If the Company determines the acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, up-front payments allocated to IPR&D are recorded in research and development expense if it is determined that there is no alternative future use, and subsequent milestone payments are recorded in research and development expense when achieved. |
Goodwill and intangible assets | Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. The evaluation for impairment includes assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of net assets is below the carrying amount. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had goodwill of $140.6 million related to the 2019 acquisition of Cobalt, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. There have been no impairments of goodwill since the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized separately from goodwill and are initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the IPR&D is estimated using the replacement cost method. Under this method, the Company estimates the cost to recreate the technology and derive an estimated value to develop the technology. IPR&D assets are required to be classified as indefinite-lived assets and are not amortized until they become finite-lived assets upon the successful completion of the associated research and development technology. At that time, the useful life of the asset will be determined, and amortization will begin. If the associated research and development technology is abandoned, the related IPR&D asset will be written off and an impairment charge recorded. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. As of December 31, 2021, there was no amortization or impairments of the intangible asset. |
Contingent consideration from business combinations | Contingent consideration from business combinations Contingent consideration from a business combination is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and remeasured at each subsequent reporting period with changes in fair value recognized in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration. Changes in fair values reflect changes to the Company’s assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones, the timing in which the milestones are expected to be achieved, and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the obligation. |
Success payments | Success payments The Company granted rights to a success payment to Cobalt Biomedicine, Inc. (Cobalt) pursuant to the terms of its acquisition agreement and to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard) pursuant to the terms of its exclusive license agreement. See Note 3, Acquisitions and Note 4, License and collaboration agreements for more details on the success payments. The success payments are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration . For the success payments to Harvard (Harvard Success Payments), both the initial value and subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in research and development related success payments and contingent consideration . To determine the estimated fair value of the success payment liabilities, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the value of the liabilities based on several key assumptions, including the remaining terms of the success payments, risk-free interest rate, estimated number and timing of valuation measurement dates on the basis of which payments may be triggered, and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected volatility is estimated using the volatility of peer companies for a period of time commensurate with the remaining terms of the success payments. Additionally, prior to the IPO, the Cobalt Success Payment liability incorporated the estimated future value of the Company implied by the estimated per share value of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock at issuance, and the Harvard Success Payment liability incorporated the estimated per share value of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock. Concurrent with the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, the Company’s Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock converted into common stock. Subsequent to the IPO, the computation of the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment liability incorporates the market capitalization of the Company at the end of each reporting period, and the computation of the estimated fair value of the Harvard Success Payments incorporates the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the end of each reporting period. |
Leases | Leases At the inception of the arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present in the arrangement. Lease liabilities represent an obligation to make payments arising from a lease and are measured at the present value of the remaining future lease payments over the term of the lease. The present value of the lease payments is determined using an incremental borrowing rate (IBR), which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow the amount of the lease payments, on a collateralized basis, for a similar term and economic environment. The lease terms may include the impact of options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Assumptions made by the Company at the commencement date are re-evaluated upon the occurrence of certain events, including a lease modification. When a lease modification results in a separate contract, it is accounted for in the same manner as a new lease. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the right to use the underlying asset identified in the lease for the term of the agreement. The calculation of the ROU asset incorporates the value of the lease liability and excludes any lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s lease portfolio consists of operating leases related to its facilities for office, laboratory, and manufacturing space. The Company does not have any financing leases. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and do not require recognition on the balance sheet, and payments associated with short-term leases are expensed as incurred. Rent expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
Claims and contingencies | Claims and contingencies From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation and proceedings relating to claims arising from the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the likelihood of an adverse outcome is only reasonably possible, or if an adverse outcome is probable, but an estimate is not determinable, the Company provides disclosure of the material claim or contingency. |
Convertible preferred stock | Convertible preferred stock The carrying value of the Company’s Series A-1, Series A-2, and Series B convertible preferred stock was adjusted to reflect dividends if and when declared by the Company’s board of directors. No dividends have been declared by the board of directors since inception. The Company classified its convertible preferred stock outside of permanent equity, as the redemption of such stock was not solely under the control of the Company. The Company recorded its convertible preferred stock at the issuance price on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Concurrent with the closing of the Company’s IPO in February 2021, all of the Company’s convertible preferred stock converted into common stock. |
Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation costs related to restricted stock awards (RSAs), restricted stock units (RSUs), and stock options granted to employees and nonemployees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. For RSAs and RSUs, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is used to determine the resulting stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of stock options is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model which requires management to apply judgment and make estimates, including: • Fair Value of Common Stock —The fair value of common stock is based on the closing price as reported on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of grant. • Expected Term —The expected term represents the period that a stock-based award is expected to be outstanding. The Company uses the simplified method to determine the expected term, which is based on the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the option. • Expected Volatility — Due to the Company’s limited operating history and lack of company-specific historical and implied volatility data, the expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatilities of common stock of comparable publicly traded entities over a period of time commensurate with the expected term of the stock option grants. The comparable companies are chosen based on their size, stage in the product development cycle, or area of specialty. The Company will continue to apply this process until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of its own stock price becomes available. • Risk-Free Interest Rate— The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the awards. • Expected Dividend— The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and has no plans to pay dividends on its common stock. Therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. |
Research and development expense | Research and development expense The Company records expense for research and development costs as incurred. Nonrefundable, advance payments for goods or contracts for services are deferred, and expense is recognized in the period in which the goods are received or the services are rendered. Research and development expense consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, costs for laboratory supplies, costs to acquire and license technologies aligned with our goal of translating engineered cells to medicines, facility and other allocated expenses, including rent, depreciation, and allocated overhead costs, and other research and development expenses. |
Research and development related success payment and contingent consideration | Research and development related success payment and contingent consideration Research and development related success payments and contingent consideration include the change in the estimated fair value of the Cobalt Success Payment and Harvard Success Payment liabilities and Cobalt Contingent Consideration. Research and development expense related to the success payment liabilities and contingent consideration is unpredictable and may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to changes in the assumptions used in the calculations. |
General and administrative expenses | General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation, for employees in finance, legal, executive, human resources, information technology, and other administrative functions, legal and consulting fees, recruiting costs, and facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses. Legal fees include those related to corporate and patent matters. |
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company determines its deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be recovered. The Company applies judgment in the determination of the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes any material interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company is required to file income tax returns in the United States (U.S.) federal jurisdiction, and other state and local jurisdictions. The Company is generally subject to examination by U.S. federal and local income tax authorities for all tax years in which the loss carryforward is available. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other jurisdictions for any tax years. |
Segments | Segments Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. |
JOBS Act accounting election | JOBS Act accounting election The Company is an emerging growth company (EGC), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, an EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies; however, the Company may adopt new or revised accounting standards early if the standard allows for early adoption. In addition, the Company will utilize other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided to EGCs by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, an EGC is not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), or (iv) disclose certain executive compensation-related items, such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. |

Business Acquisition [Line Items] | |
Schedule of Purchase Consideration | The Company accounted for the Cobalt acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The elements of the purchase consideration are as follows (in thousands): Series A-2 convertible preferred stock issued (1) $ 97,178 First milestone - restricted Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (2) 38,769 Success payment (3) 2,428 Fair value of contingent consideration (4) 51,248 Other 66 Total consideration $ 189,689 (1) The purchase consideration included 24.3 million shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. The value of the stock issued was $4.00 per share, equivalent to the purchase price per share of the Series A-2 convertible preferred stock financing that occurred in February 2019. (2) The Company concluded the value of the first milestone, to be paid in restricted shares of Series A-2 convertible preferred stock, met the definition of being indexed to common stock. The restricted Series A-2 convertible preferred shares were recorded in convertible preferred stock valued at $38.8 million based on the estimated probability and timing of the milestone achievement on the date of acquisition and are not subject to remeasurement upon achievement of the milestone. In July 2019, the first milestone was achieved, and the Company issued a total of 12.1 million shares of its Series A-2 convertible preferred stock. (3) The fair value of the success payment was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology, which models the estimated fair value of the liability based on several key assumptions including the term of the success payment, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, estimated number and timing of valuation measurement dates on the basis of which payment may be triggered, and the estimated future value of the Company implied by the estimated future per share value of the Company’s Series B convertible preferred stock at issuance. (4) The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined by calculating the probability-weighted value of the milestone payments based on the assessment of the likelihood and estimated timing that certain milestones would be achieved and using estimated discount rates ranging from 15.3% to 17.6%. The discount rate captures the credit risk associated with the payment of the contingent consideration when earned and due. |
Components of Purchase Price Allocation | The allocation of the purchase price is based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition.
