Our CEO Iraj Ali shares his insights with the BioIndustry Association (BIA) Association Community about the recent strides made in oncology research and what the future could hold. He is inspired by the dedication and innovation of researchers in the UK and worldwide working to develop more effective and targeted therapies. At Achilles Therapeutics plc we are using our AI-driven technology to identify target clonal neoantigens for new therapeutic treatments and vaccines for cancer patients.

Personalised T cell therapies targeting clonal neoantigens
About us
Achilles Therapeutics’ mission is to develop next-generation, patient-specific therapies that harness the immune system to destroy cancer cells. The therapies will target truncal (also known as clonal) tumour neo-antigens, unique flags to the immune system present on the surface of every cancer cell. These truncal neo-antigens are created early in the cancer’s evolution and present on all cancer cells in an individual patient’s tumour but not on healthy cells, so could allow scientists to target and destroy tumours without harming healthy tissues. Achilles Therapeutics brings together four scientific Founders with world leading expertise in the understanding of cancer evolution, bioinformatics and the development of immunotherapies.

Achilles Therapeutics plc reposted this
Immune Regulation and Tumour Immunotherapy Group led by Sergio Quezada at the Cancer Institute, UCL.
Really happy to share a link to our most recent preprint: https://lnkd.in/enDQ42fp In it we describe the development of a state-of-the-art immunogenicity predictor, laying the necessary foundation for the DECOD-Ag program. Great collaboration with Marc Mansour, Yardena Samuels, Charles Swanton, Sine Reker Hadrup, UCL Cancer Institute, and Achilles Therapeutics plc, funded by #EUHorizon2020 (EU Science, Research and Innovation).

Achilles Therapeutics plc’s CSO Sergio Quezada was recently interviewed at the Immuno-Oncology 360° Summit in Boston. Sergio discussed how research into clonal neoantigens, which are mutations present on all tumor cells, opened up an important avenue for precision cell therapies. At Achilles Therapeutics plc, we are developing a next-generation targeted TIL therapy, using our cutting-edge, proprietary bioinformatics platform (PELEUS™) which has the unique ability to define the best neoantigens.
