OncoImmune
OncoImmune is a small biotech company founded by Dr. Yang Liu, recently of Children’s National. Dr. Liu and his colleagues have developed IL-27 fusion proteins that, when delivered to a patient with gene therapy techniques, can become an effective cancer treatment in combination with monoclonal antibody therapeutics. It may also serve enhance the effectiveness of cancer and viral vaccines. OncoImmune has licensed this technology from Children’s National, and it will seek to move this promising therapeutic through clinical development.
