Immusoft’s mission is to develop a breakthrough platform for delivering targeted medicines — programming a patient’s own cells to become miniature drug factories.

Our technology instructs a patient's cells to constantly secrete gene-encoded medicines (biologics). It will enable new treatments by solving current delivery limitations and production challenges. We are initially targeting orphaned diseases. 

Immusoft’s platform can program cells to continually produce and secrete therapeutic proteins and rare antibodies that have been impossible to elicit with a vaccine. This approach makes possible treatments that are otherwise impractical due to short halflife, injection site reactions, production challenges or a small market size. It offers many of the benefits of traditional approaches and modern gene therapies with less risk and greater control.

Immusoft has received grants from the National Institutes of Health and Peter Thiel's Breakout Labs as well as support from private investors, including the former head of preclinical development at Seattle Genetics. We have an exclusive license option on our core technology from Caltech and have filed two additional patents covering our extensive modifications to the technology.

ISP technology could replace a lifetime of infusions with a patient’s own drug-producing cells.

Longevity Biotech is a privately held preclinical biotechnology company developing a new class of linear, stabilized, peptide therapeutics called Hybridtides®. 

Our objective for this meeting is to initiate fundraising (Series A) and partnership discussions to progress our preclinical neuroinflammation program into the clinic.  

To date, Longevity Biotech has demonstrated in vivo neuroprotection in a Parkinson's Disease animal model and established preliminary immunological-based biomarker end-point links to on-going clinical trials.     Longevity Biotech is encouraged to continue the development of this differentiated and potentially disease modifying therapeutic candidate to address the unmet needs across a variety of neurological disorders.  

More generally, Longevity Biotech is committed to the development of our current preclinical portfolio as well as expanding the platform breadth via licensing opportunities.  Currently, Longevity Biotech is developing GPCR based Hybridtides® for the treatment of metabolic, cardiovascular, neuroscience and oncology diseases.   In addition, preliminary data (in vitro &  in vivo) suggest the possibility of oral delivery of Hybridtide based therapeutics.
