Epitopea

Seed Round in 2024
Epitopea is a transatlantic biotechnology company focused on developing immunotherapies that target a novel class of tumor‑specific antigens. Using a proprietary pipeline that combines immunopetidomics, mass spectrometry, genomics and bioinformatics, the company identifies conserved, aberrantly expressed antigens hidden in cancer’s ‘junk’ DNA. These Cryptigen TSAs are shared across patients with the same cancer indication, allowing therapies to selectively eliminate malignant cells while sparing healthy tissue, with the goal of providing durable, low‑side‑effect treatments.
