Genagon Theraputics AB

Revolutionizing cancer treatment

  • CEO: Simon Fredriksson
  • First investment year: 2015
  • Fund: Stockholm
  • Business sector: Life Science

Genagon has developed a platform to identify novel pathways in immune cells and discovered a new mechanism which cancers use to inhibit the innate immune system: Macrophages, Dendritic cells, and NK-cells. These cells are essential to recruit, train, and activate cancer specific T-cells to attack and destroy their target. By blocking these inhibitory pathways Genagon will increase response rates in immuno-oncology.
