Immago Biosystems

Immago Biosystems focus on the enhancement of antibody based cancer therapies using antibody-modulating enzymes.

Immago Biosystems Ltd was founded in 2013 from research arising in the Oxford Glycobiology Institute within the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Dr Chris Scanlan and Dr Max Crispin invented ‘receptor refocusing’ which aims to enhances immune-mediated killing of cancer cells by modulating the endogenous antibody repertoire with enzymes such as IdeS and EndoS. Together with their colleague, Dr Kavitha Baruah, they formed Immago Biosystems Ltd to help bring these concepts to the clinic.
