NexImmune, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company, which engages in the development of novel approach to immunotherapy designed to employ the body's own T cells to generate an antigen-specific cell-mediated immune response with curative potential for the patient. The company is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland and currently employs 6 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2021-02-12. The firm is engaged in developing an approach to immunotherapy designed to employ the body’s own T cells to generate an immune response that mimics natural biology. Its product candidates include NEXI-001 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML); NEXI-002 in multiple myeloma (MM), and NEXI-003, a solid tumor product candidate for Human papillomavirus (HPV) related cancers. The firm provides Artificial Immune Modulation (AIM), which is a nanoparticle technology platform. Its AIM technology enables it to construct nanoparticles that function as synthetic dendritic cells capable of directing a specific T cell-mediated immune response. The AIM nanoparticles employ signaling proteins to deliver instructions to T cells directing a desired immune response. The firm is also developing new AIM nanoparticle constructs and modalities for clinical evaluation in oncology and autoimmune disorders.
