Immunethep is a biotech startup company (spin-off from the University of Porto) that is developing anti-bacterial immunotherapies based on the discovery of a virulence mechanism shared by different bacteria that cause life-threatening infections. We are working on preventing and treating infectious diseases to improve global health (SDG#3) for a safer tomorrow free of AntiMicrobial Resistance (AMR). We will accomplish our mission by developing anti-infective immunotherapies that potentiate a natural and strong immune response from the infected host, reducing the disease burden and mortality rates.
