Unlocking the full potential of immunopeptidomics with the timsTOF Ultra
Alithea Biotechnology was founded in 2019 by Fanny Giannou and Tim Fugmann to support Biopharma globally on the development of innovative therapies targeting HLA-presented peptides. Alithea has a significant track record in the absolute quantification of HLA peptides, off-target toxicity predictions and target discovery.
In addition, HLA-Compass is Alithea's cloud-accessible HLA peptide database featuring the measurement of a total of 1.4 Million HLA peptides in 4160 healthy tissue, tumor tissue and cancer cell line samples for target validation and off-target toxicity prediction.
Why to join this webinar:
- The timsTOF Ultra can lead to high quality immunopeptidomes from limited sample
- Extensive HLA databases can significantly speed up the T-Cell-Receptor therapy development process
- The time is ripe to bring immunopeptidomics into clinical routine
Presenter: Tim Fugmann, Ph.D. (Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder, Alithea Biotechnology GmbH, Berlin, Germany)
Tim Fugmann got his Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, on mass-spectrometric discovery of antibody targets and disease biomarkers. Later, he was leading the target discovery efforts at Philochem, before moving to the Max-Delbrueck-Centrum for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. He was later appointed professor for MS-based proteomics at JLU Giessen. In 2019 he co-founded Alithea Bio UG, which is focusing on immunopeptidomics, a topic which Tim Fugmann studied since 2012.
