Mission Statement
Through single-cell biology, computational biology, and artificial
intelligence, Immunai is reprogramming the immune system to develop improved
drugs and therapeutics.
Background
Immunai was founded in December 2018. We are a multidisciplinary team of
immunologists, genomics technologists, computer scientists, engineers,
mathematicians and operators singularly focused on solving an audacious
challenge. Backed by some of the leading scientific minds in immunology,
oncology, and single cell genomics, we are up for the challenge.
Immunai has begun the process of mapping millions of immune cells and their
functions in order to build a proprietary data set for clinical immunological
data. The immune system mapping will play an important role in boosting R&D
efforts in developing targeted therapies for different diseases. The company
noted that the immune system consists of trillions of cells that are divided
into different cell types that perform different functions. Because of the
complexity of the system, it can be difficult to determine how drugs will
interact with the immune cells. This increased understanding can be used to
boost clinical response to different cellular therapies.
Immunai's mission is to map the immune system with neural networks and
transfer learning techniques informed by deep immunology knowledge. We
developed the tools and knowhow to help every immuno-oncology and cell therapy
researcher excel at their job. This helps increase the speed in which drugs
are developed and brought to market by elucidating their mechanisms of action
and resistance.
