- The proprietary AI-Immunology platform brings the potential for a new era in vaccine discovery, design and development using advanced AI and machine learning technologies
- AI-Immunology outcompetes standard vaccine target discovery approaches and holds the promise of addressing serious unmet needs
- With a unique modular architecture, AI-Immunology is scalable and adaptable towards partner needs
- The potential of AI-Immunology is validated by established partnerships, including an ongoing vaccine collaboration with MSD
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 19, 2024.
The R&D Day features a series of talks providing in-depth insights into Evaxion's clinically validated AI-Immunology platform for vaccine target discovery, design and development. AI-Immunology consists of a collection of in-house developed AI building blocks that can be intelligently combined into AI prediction models to address complex healthcare issues related to the immune system. With the AI prediction models, PIONEER, ObsERV, EDEN and RAVEN, we can identify clinically relevant vaccine targets within hours.
Christian Kanstrup, CEO of Evaxion, expresses enthusiasm: "We have been looking forward to this exciting day and welcome everyone interested in learning more about our technology and its potential for saving and improving lives. We believe that we hold a truly differentiated position driven by our validated AI-Immunology platform and the multi-disciplinary capability set we have built around it. The potential of AI-Immunology is evidenced by our strong pipeline of vaccine candidates and existing partnerships."
The presentations during the day will, among other things, cover:
- The innovative modular architecture of AI-Immunology, where AI building blocks can be combined into AI prediction models, enhancing scalability
- Insights into the novel AI-Immunology building block, EvaxMHC, which is used across the platform, significantly enhancing the predictive capabilities
- The clinical validation of the predictive capabilities of the PIONEER model showing a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival in metastatic melanoma patients
- The novel tumor target sources, named Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs), showing high relevance in low tumor mutation burden cancers, allowing for potentially more effective personal cancer vaccines
- The EDEN model outperforms reverse vaccinology finding novel targets in hours instead of years. The EDEN designed EVX-B2 vaccine candidate showing stronger protection than a vaccine candidate developed by GSK's Gonorrhea
- RAVEN introduces novel vaccine concepts to enhance the effectiveness of T-cell-based vaccines
- The ObsERV model allows for a novel precision vaccine approach toward addressing cancers which cannot be targeted with standard immunotherapies
Following the R&D Day, a replay of the event presentations will be available on our website.
