ImmuSmol’s in vivo services
In 2012, freshly out of post-doc, immunologist Alban Bessede launched ImmuSmol, a biotech company developing antibodies against kynurenine pathway metabolites for diagnostic & therapeutic use. Building on Alban’s expertise in syngeneic tumor models treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors, ImmuSmol started to provide in vivo services on the side, to finance in-house R&D projects.
