Deka Biosciences
Vision
Deka is committed to developing and delivering life-changing medicines to patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases.
Approach
Deka has developed the next generation of cytokine therapy - Diakine™. Diakines™ are purposely engineered therapeutic proteins that are designed to deliver combinations of clinically validated cytokines to diseased tissue.
Deka uses Precision Medicine to identify patients that will benefit from their Diakines™, because not everyone responds to a given cytokine in the same way. They have developed the appropriate assays and discovered the underlying genetic signatures that are responsible for the differential responses to each Diakine™.
Deka is focused on the development of novel cytokine therapies to treat cancer and inflammatory diseases such as Crohn’s, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and sepsis.
