Our immune system acts locally to combat disease, why don’t our medicines?

SynsoryBio engineers protein therapeutics that conditionally activate only at disease sites by sensing specific biomarkers, applying this to clinically tested cancer immunotherapies to improve safety and efficacy. They aim to partner with immunologists or oncologists and seek collaborations.
