Aginko Research AG

Explicyte is a family brand of specialty preclinical services launched by ImmuSmol, a bordeaux-based company. The first brand, Explicyte Immune-Oncology offers preclinical contract research services in immuno-oncology.

Explicyte Immuno-Oncology currently offers to test innovative cancer immunotherapies in vivo, using syngeneic mouse tumor models treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (eg. anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1/PD-L1 antibodies). In addition, Explicyte is setting up an in vitro platform for the identification and optimization of novel immunomodulators. Equipped with high-content analysis technologies, the platform focuses on live phenotypic screening in co-cultures of immune and cancer cells, as well as molecular cell-based assays for the assessment of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Within Basel neighbourhood and at the very heart of Europe (the triple border of France, Germany and Switzerland), Firalis is a pioneering biotechnology company, active in discovery, development and qualification of biomarkers (BM).
