Mendelspod Podcast Mapping the Meta Proteome: John Shon, CTO, Serimmune
John Shon is the Chief Technology Officer at Serimmune, a company specializing in precision immunology. Serimmune maintains a library of over 10 million random peptides that can mimic almost any disease. With this library, they are able to comprehensively map the relationship between antibodies and antigens.What does this mean? Take COVID, for instance; rather than just offering a diagnostic, Serimmune can show disease history in the body. They partnered with Moderna to look at the epitopes from their vaccines and boosters. For those patients who took vaccines, the company saw a different and more focused response to the COVID-19 virus.This is a comprehensive measuring of human immunity. The technology can be used with almost any disease. And it picks up cross-disease interactions. So, where is the company today? And how does John see their powerful technology being adopted in medicine?
