What we do
Commit Biologics has developed a novel platform technology to harness the power of the complement system, a vital part of the innate immune system. With a unique mechanism of action, the technology has the potential to create a new type of immunotherapy for the treatment of a variety of cancers.
The BiCE™ technology
The complement system represents an efficient immune mechanism for clearing tumor cells, modulating the tumor-micro-environment, and for stimulating an adaptive immune response. However, complement is inherently difficult to activate and is currently underexploited in cancer treatment.
The BiCE™ technology is designed to potently activate the complement system to induce tumor cell killing. It’s based on bi-specific antibodies that specifically recruit the complement system to the cancer cells. With a novel mechanism of action, the technology has the potential to redefine cancer treatment.
About us
Commit Biologics is a biotech spin-out from Aarhus University founded in 2021. The Commit team combines expertise in antibody development and complement research to develop a new type of immunotherapy to treat cancer.
The founding team has strong academic (highly ranked publications, e.g. Nature, Cell and Science), industrial (Alexion, J&J, Argenx and Complement Pharma) and international experience. The management brings a wealth of operational experience, notably in I/O biology, preclinical development, pipeline advancement and drug approvals and exceptional researchers drive the scientific progress within the lab.
