About ImmunoEdge
ImmunoEdge is a science-first venture redefining how we detect and prioritize cancer immunotherapy targets. Our proprietary technology unlocks previously undetectable tumor neoepitopes by minimizing bias and enabling quantitative peptide capture at ultra-low inputs breaking new grounds in immunopeptidomics.
Our technology is patent-pending grounded in years of research and validated by early data. It has the potential to expand access to meaningful therapeutic targets and contribute to the development of more inclusive and precise immunotherapies.
ImmunoEdge was founded by Dr. Mogjib Salek a scientist trained at the University of Oxford and previously based at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) where his work advanced precision immunopeptidomics and enabled neoepitope detection from clinical samples widely considered too limited for analysis. This work led to peer-reviewed publications in leading biomedical journals including Molecular & Cellular Proteomics and Science Translational Medicine in collaboration with experts in the field. The underlying research now forms the scientific foundation of ImmunoEdges technology which is now being developed to take this further enabling target discovery from real-world diagnostic samples such as core needle biopsies without the need for surgical resection or large tissue input.
The company is supported by a world-class Scientific Advisory Board including Prof. Oreste Acuto (Oxford) a leading immunologist whose groundbreaking work in T-cell receptor signaling laid key foundations for modern cancer immunotherapy. Also advising is Dr. Christophe Masselon a pioneer in mass spectrometry innovation.
