Oncimmune, an autoantibody profiling company providing research services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to enable the delivery of precision medicine, has announced a new contract with a global pharma company.
Following a successful pilot carried out for a major pharmaceutical company, Oncimmune has entered into an agreement for a major new project with the same customer, with a contract value of at least US$1.5m.
During the pilot project, Oncimmune was able to demonstrate that it can reliably profile Immunoglobulin E (‘IgE’) autoantibodies in blood serum using its high-throughput bead-based platform. The new project is expected to be delivered over the next six months, with the majority of the revenue therefore falling into FY2025.
Martin Gouldstone, CEO of Oncimmune said: “I am delighted that our scientific team has demonstrated our ability to measure IgE, which is much harder to detect in blood serum than other immunoglobulins, using our high-throughput platform.”
Oncimmune is a precision medicine company specialising in analysing immune interactions through the autoantibody profile. Taking a platform approach to generating insights, Oncimmune is partnering with global pharmaceutical and biotech companies, as well as contract research organisations (CROs) to discover novel biomarkers for the development of more targeted and effective therapies across many immune-mediated diseases.
Oncimmune is headquartered in the UK, with its discovery and development facility based in Dortmund, Germany.
