Presentation

 

 

Éric Quéméneur, Pharm.D., Ph.D., Executive VP and Chief Scientific Officer of Transgene, said: “Viral immunotherapy constitutes a very promising modality based on harnessing the natural capabilities of the immune system to target cancer cells. TG4050 is an individualized cancer vaccine based on our myvac® technology that has the ability to elicit an immune response against up to 30 patient-specific tumor neoantigens. Our partnership with NEC enables us to benefit from its cutting-edge AI capabilities that allows us to select the best combination of neoantigens to include in TG4050 to induce a strong anti-tumor immune response. We are convinced that the success of TG4050, which is at the crossroad of immunotherapy and big data sciences, will herald the start of a new era in the fight against cancer.

 

The Neoantigen Based Therapies Summit is the leading end-to-end meeting dedicated to delivering the promise of accurate identification, prediction, and validation of neoantigens to develop highly efficacious vaccines and cell therapies.
