Oncimmune

Oncimmune is working to revolutionise both the detection of cancer and its treatment by harnessing the sophisticated disease detecting capabilities of the immune system to find cancer in its early stages. Our range of diagnostic tests assist clinicians to identify the presence of cancer four years or more before standard clinical diagnosis, whilst our technology platform and sample biobanks are helping healthcare companies to develop new cancer treatments. 

Through our recent acquisition of Protagen AG, Oncimmune has expanded its service offering in profiling autoantibodies for the characterisation and prediction of response and adverse events in immuno-oncology and autoimmune diseases.

Oppilotech Ltd

Oppilotech have developed a high-resolution platform based on systems biology and machine learning to model biological processes in cells. The platform is utilized to identify first-in-class drug targets and to develop novel modes of action drugs modulating the identified targets.The high level of detail allows us to reveal new biology and identify first-in-class non-intuitive drug targets. We initially focused our modelling efforts on E.coli identifying 4 first-in-class antibacterial drug targets and generated active chemical matter against 3 of them. We are now expanding into pathways in human cells allowing us to address a wider range of diseases including cancer (ERK and DNA Damage pathways) and inflammation (cGAS-STING).
Our Business model is to establish:
·  Partnerships with Pharma/Biotechs who would like Oppilotech   to model pathways they are working on
·  Partnerships with Pharma/Biotech who would like access to targets generated from in-house modelling of pathways
·  Partnership with Pharma/Biotechs who would like access to early stage drug development programmes developed by Oppilotech on targets identified in-house
·  Partnerships on our antibacterial programmes
