Alpha-1 Biologics

Alpha-1 Biologics is a biotherapeutics company developing innovative treatments for cancers and immune deficiencies. The company is dedicated to their mission to develop patented therapeutics related to the generation of immune cells from stem cells within the body to treat immunodeficiency with disease applications including immune cell replenishment in cancer therapy, HIV/AIDS, patients with inherited deficiency of α1PI, and in the most prevalent cause of immune deficiency, malnutrition. Alpha-1 Biologics is currently testing their orally-available, small molecules in studies to determine their ability to increase the number of tumor infiltrating CD4+ T cells and coordinate with immune checkpoint inhibitors to eliminate tumors. The discoveries at the core of Alpha-1 Biologics therapeutic approach resulted from basic research conducted by Dr. Bristow and supported for many years by the non-profit research organization, Institute for Human Genetics and Biochemistry (IHGB) funded by the Harry Winston Research Foundation.
