Affigen develops tumor-identifying therapies to treat cancer.  By utilizing precision design, we can drive powerful immune responses against molecules unique to cancer, while minimizing the risk of damage to healthy tissues.  To do this, we focus on highly-automated process engineering and personal-scale biologics manufacturing in order to develop new therapies for previously “undruggable” targets.

In effect, we focus on cancer’s “Achille’s Heel”: the proteins which distinguish tumor cells from normal cells, which can target tumor cells for destruction with extreme sensitivity and precision.   As a translational-stage company, we develop our therapeutics with rapid clinical adoption in mind, and in close collaboration with an extensive expert network of world-class academic collaborators.
