Immunome is a start-up biopharmaceutical company with a patented native, human antibody platform which enables us to harness the natural curative power of the human immune system. We believe that the novel antibodies generated by the human immune system have unique properties that may provide significant clinical benefit compared to those made by artificial systems such as mice or bacteria. We are using this game-changing technology to develop novel therapies for infections which currently have no or inadequate treatment options.
