Harnessing the power of stem cells and advances in gene therapy to cure cancer

Stem cells have the amazing capacity of self-renewal and to regenerate new tissues. Decades of research have made gene therapy a reachable reality and is not science fiction anymore. We now have safe and efficient technological tools to modify cells to treat serious diseases.

At Immugenia, we combine the unique properties of stem cells and the power of gene therapy to develop cancer treatments with life-long potential.

Stem cells have the amazing capacity of self-renewal and to regenerate new tissues. Decades of research have made gene therapy a reachable reality and is not science fiction anymore. We now have safe and efficient technological tools to modify cells to treat serious diseases.

At Immugenia, we combine the unique properties of stem cells and the power of gene therapy to develop cancer treatments with life-long potential.

About us

Immugenia is an early stage immuno-oncology company developing a novel approach to CAR therapy by engineering hematopoietic stem cells to treat cancer and prevent relapses. Our proprietary technology allows for the CAR to be expressed selectively in T and NK cells in order to leverage their synergistic activity against cancer.

To enhance accessibility to CAR therapy, Immugenia is advancing research to administer CAR therapy directly in vivo, thus bypassing the need for ex vivo cell modifications. This approach combines our proprietary promoter technology, which allows CAR expression to be selective to T and NK cells, with lentiviral particles specifically designed to target immune cells.

In this process, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), T cells, or NK cells are engineered with a CAR whose expression is regulated by our proprietary promoter(s). This targeted expression is confined to the T and NK cell lineages, allowing for continuous replenishment of CAR-T and CAR-NK cells when HSCs are engineered. Additionally, this method incorporates a safety feature that ensures CAR expression is restricted to the intended immune cells, minimizing off-target effects.

Highlights

BIO Japan 2024

From October 9 to 11, 2024, Immugenia will be at BIO Japan, the most important event in the biopharmaceutical industry in Asia, to meet with potential investors and partners. The company will join a mission organized by Investissement Québec International, in collaboration with the Délégation générale du Québec in Tokyo and in partnership with BIO Québec and the Cité de la Biotech.

Each year, BIO Japan attracts more than 16,000 visitors from 1,000 organizations and 37 countries. Nearly 20,000 business meetings are organized over the 3 days. This event plays a major role in the Japanese ecosystem by facilitating interactions between Japanese and foreign companies.

Looking forward to meeting you there!
