A comprehensive platform to investigate bacteria as immuno-modulating vectors or agents.
Preclinical and clinical studies have shed light on the beneficial role of bacteria for cancer therapy. Indeed, these works have demonstrated that these microorganisms have properties that allow them to selectively colonize tumor tissue and that they could also be considered as predictive drug efficacy biomarkers. Based on these results, bacteria are now used 1) for delivering therapeutic proteins into tumor cells or antigens into body, 2) for shaping gut microbiota. Ultimately these approaches lead to the activation of an immune response against the tumor. Owing to our scientific and technological expertise at manipulating microbes, Oncodesign proposes tailor-made strategies to clients for investigating the efficacy of their bacteria-based treatments and/or the effect of their therapies on microbiota in vitro and in vivo.
