Selecta Biosciences, Inc. And Skolkovo Foundation Collaboration To Develop A Synthetic Vaccine Particle In The Field Of Immuno-Oncology

WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Selecta Biosciences, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel drugs that use immune-modulating nanomedicines based on Synthetic Vaccine Particles (SVP™), announced today that it has been awarded a $3.2 million grant from Skolkovo Foundation in support of Selecta’s program to develop an SVP immunotherapy to treat cancers caused by infections with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), such as cervical, head and neck cancers. The grant award will assist with advancing an SVP cancer immunotherapy from preclinical through early clinical evaluation. This immuno-oncology program is designed to develop novel SVP immunotherapies capable of harnessing the body’s ‘killer’ immune cells, known as cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTL), to attack HPV-transformed tumor cells.
