Is There a Difference Between Cancer and Auto Immunity?

Today’s cancer therapies are difficult, expensive, and slow to create. But the combination of new computing and new biological technologies is leading to a better understanding of the human immune system, with the goal of offering a better class of cancer therapies.

Azeem Azhar speaks with Immunai co-founder and chief technology officer Luis Voloch about how AI is unlocking the secrets of the immune system and opening new avenues for novel cancer treatments.

They also discuss:

• Why Luis and his co-founder, two machine learning engineers, decided to start a bio startup.
• How Immunai uses single-cell genomics to map out the immune system.
• The trajectory of Immunai’s experiments from the lab to the patient.
