Cimeio Therapeutics AG is an applied gene editing and immunotherapy company based in Basel, Switzerland. Cimeio is developing a portfolio of shielded-cell & immunotherapy pairs™ (scip) that have the potential to transform hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The Swiss company's technology platform is based on the design and expression of modified variants of naturally occurring cell surface proteins in hscs. These novel variants maintain their function but are resistant to depletion when targeted by a paired immunotherapy which has high affinity for the wild-type version of these proteins. Cimeio is the leader of the field of epitope editing and is developing a portfolio of shielded-cell & immunotherapy pairs™ (scip), novel immunotherapies which have the potential to transform treatment of hematologic diseases. The company develops state-of-the-art immunotherapies, along with paired, modified variants of naturally occurring cell surface proteins in hscs. These immunotherapies have significant therapeutic potential, which Cimeio is using to develop curative treatments for patients with hematologic malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and genetic diseases. The company was founded by Lukas Jeker and the CEO is Thomas Fuchs.
