The series of studies, published this week in Scientific Reports , show that SSIs activate and mobilize cells of the innate immune system to enhance and reinforce immune and barrier function of target organs to treat or prevent disease.

Key Points:

The series of studies, published this week in Scientific Reports , show that SSIs activate and mobilize cells of the innate immune system to enhance and reinforce immune and barrier function of target organs to treat or prevent disease.
The innate immune system is the first line of defense against both infectious and non-infectious threats, and it is the critical part of the immune system responsible for providing protection against new infectious agents when adaptive immune memory is lacking.
This primed army of innate immune cells is not only more efficient at tackling new pathogens but is also very well-equipped in clearing cancer cells and improving barrier function in the targeted organ.
Qu Biologics is a Vancouver-based private clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing Site Specific Immunomodulators (SSI), a novel class of immunotherapies.
