Inimmune Oncology

Cancer Immunotherapy

Inimmune is advancing a novel TLR7/8 agonist nanoparticle formulation to the clinic to treat cancer by harnessing the patient’s immune system and synergizing with existing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies. Further, we’re leveraging our expertise in innate immune activation to develop novel compounds and technology to target other immune receptors to develop the next generation of disruptive therapies in oncology.

Adjuvants

Our lead vaccine adjuvants target innate immune receptors TLR4, TLR7/8, and Mincle and are focused on generating Th1 and Th17 responses. We are also working on discovery of new adjuvants that target STING as well as inflammasome-activating adjuvants.
inimmune-infectios-disease

Infectious Disease

Inimmune is at the forefront of infectious disease prevention and treatment through the development of cutting edge vaccines and antibiotics.

Allergy

At Inimmune, we’re developing a rapid disease modifying treatment which does not require identification of the allergen. INI-2004 is an allergen agnostic immunotherapy that reprograms the allergic immune response, desensitizing the patient against allergens of concern.

Autoimmunity

Inimmune is developing technology that turns off signaling from specific receptors that are involved in the development and maintenance of autoimmune disease.

Vaccines

To combat the opioid epidemic and the growing problem of drug resistant bacteria Inimmune is developing novel vaccines adjuvanted with our proprietary innate immune stimulators.
