Neutrophil Subsets for the Treatment of Cancer
THE CHALLENGE Developing a cancer immunotherapy platform that can effectively and safely leverage the complex role of neutrophils—an abundant, yet highly variable, type of innate immune cell continues to prove challenging. Unlike current therapies that primarily target the adaptive immune system, an approach that must navigate the dual nature...

Enhanced Anti-Tumor Immune State
Challenge Similar to vaccines, traditional immunotherapies target specific epitopes of cancerous cells. While several immunotherapies offer several benefits over other alternatives, immunotherapies are not very effective because of several reasons. Given that microbes/cells have similar epitopes and that tumors mutate, therapy may not work in all cases...
