Since our founding in 2003, we have pursued our vision of using the immune system to find and fight proteins central to the development and progression of chronic human diseases. Our ultimate aim is to improve the lives of patients suffering from chronic diseases, by focusing on the root cause rather than symptom management: an ethos inspired by the impact that vaccines have on health and society worldwide. Our lead immunotherapy candidate which is currently under clinical investigation is on the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
Meet our exceptional team, who have a proven track record of making ground-breaking scientific discoveries and developing novel therapies.
Together we can achieve more.
