SCIENCE
RNAimmune is a biotechnology startup in the field of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology with more than 20 years’ expertise in handling and optimizing this versatile molecule for medical purposes. The principle of RNAimmune's proprietary technology is the use of mRNA as a data carrier to instruct the human body to produce its own proteins capable of fighting a wide range of diseases. The company applies its technologies for the development of cancer therapies, antibody therapies, the treatment of rare diseases, and prophylactic vaccines.
Therapeutic Focus
Infectious Diseases
We develop prophylactic vaccines to help immune systems build responsive mechanisms against serious infectious diseases.
Immuno Oncology
We develop individualized neoantigen based therapeutic vaccines to treat cancer. We also provide early detection and companion diagnosis
Rare Diseases
We develop mRNA-based therapeutics to treat difficult rare diseases.
mRNA Pipelines
RNAimmune’s development pipelines currently focus on mRNA-based vaccines that protect against cancer and respiratory viruses, alongside the development of mRNA cancer immunotherapies.
Research Highlights
mRNA Design Platform
We’ve developed a synthetic biology based, artificial intelligence aided platform that help us design better mRNAs to invoke the optimal response from our immune system. Current projects that are enabled by our platform include multi-target prophylactic vaccines and cancer vaccines expressing tumor-targeted epitopes.
Proprietary Delivery
We have developed several proprietary and novel mRNA delivery methods including lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations and Polypeptide Lipid Nanoparticle (PLNP) based carriers. We are able to deliver a wider variety of mRNAs with enhanced intracellular expression and targeted delivery.
Antigen Engineering
We are leveraging advancements in computational protein engineering to optimize vaccines at the protein level for a stronger and more protective immune response.
Self-amplifying mRNA
Our novel self-amplifying mRNAs provide stronger and longer potency for each treatment.
