Humane Genomics의 사업 내용

Humane Genomics has developed a platform to engineer cancer killing viruses. We have taken a first principles approach to design and make oncolytic viral therapies. Using a highly lytic RNA virus engineered with "2 factor authentication" (using selective infection and selective replication) they have an on-target to off-target kill ratio > 1000. We are working on our first indication, pediatric liver cancer (hepatoblastoma), with our partners at Texas Children's Hospital, who are world leading experts. We have in vivo (mouse) data showing safety and currently developing efficacy data and are showing 50% reduction in tumor volume.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Platform to make artificial viruses for cancer

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We have built a platform that designs and produces oncolytic RNA viruses that selectively kill cancer cells. Our virus uses two independent targeting mechanisms - selective infection and selective replication - to keep healthy cells safe while attacking tumors. Right now, we're applying this tech to pediatric liver cancer and working with Texas Children's Hospital to validate safety and efficacy in animal models.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY, and plan to base the company there after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in New York because that's where our team is and where we've built our lab and partnerships. It makes sense to stay where we have existing infrastructure and clinical collaborators.

자주 묻는 질문

Humane Genomics의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Humane Genomics의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Humane Genomics과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
