A global biopharmaceutical company focusing on developing innovative new medicines
We focus on finding potential immune checkpoint proteins as
target candidates for anticancer therapies by identifying
immuno-modulatory proteins expressed in various cancer and immune
cells and developing antibody and/or small molecule based therapies
against such target candidates.
STCube seeks to develop innovative, first-in class therapies to satisfy the
unmet need in patients with limited response to existing therapies.
The company also aims to develop improved, best-in-class therapies for those
patients who are responsive to existing immunotherapies.
Certain viruses employ immune checkpoint mechanisms to impair
the immune functions in the hosts. Immune checkpoint inhibitors can
thus be effective in restoring immune functions in those patients
infected with such viruses, especially those with impaired immune functions
such as elderly Patients and patients with preexisting conditions.
STCube’s immune checkpoint inhibitors promotes secretion of immune cells
stimulating cytokines such as IL-2 and interferons, thereby facilitating removal of infectious viruses.
The company is currently developing
immune checkpoint inhibitor based antiviral drugs.
