BriaCell’s Lead Candidate Combined With KEYTRUDA®: Strong Evidence of Rapid Additive or Synergistic Anti-Tumor Activity POSTED ON APRIL 3, 2019 BY FARRAH DEAN • As presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting: early efficacy data for the first six advanced breast cancer patients dosed with Bria-IMT™ in combination with KEYTRUDA® suggest additive or synergistic effects on tumor regression (“shrinkage”). • Findings support BriaCell’s hypothesis: KEYTRUDA® acts by “awakening” a component of the immune system, while Bria-IMT™ “puts the foot on the gas” of the immune system, leading to more powerful anti-tumor activity. • The combination with KEYTRUDA® appears to overcome the limitation of requiring patients to have an HLA match with Bria-IMT™. • Excellent overall safety profile for the combination.

Microsoft researchers have spent years studying those underlying processes and learning how to influence them. Now they are launching collaborations with Princeton University and UK-based companies Oxford Biomedica and Synthace to develop and test an integrated platform that’s designed to help other companies and research teams perform that work more reliably. The goal: To reduce the amount of trial and error required to make beneficial scientific breakthroughs and enable companies and academic researchers already established in the field to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively.

The project, called Station B, aims to develop an end-to-end platform — including a software stack, a means to automate lab experiments and machine learning methods that run in the cloud on Microsoft Azure — to help scientists more efficiently and predictably channel the power of life’s ultimate information processing machines: living cells.

CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom – In recent years, companies have figured out how to engineer bacteria to make cement, helping reduce the pollution involved in traditional manufacturing. Using more advanced techniques, scientists have even programmed patients’ immune cells to recognize and kill leukemia cells, giving children who had virtually no chance of survival years of prolonged life.

Station B - Building a platform for programming biology The Station B platform is being developed at Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK, which houses Microsoft’s first molecular biology laboratory. The platform aims to improve all phases of the Design-Build-Test-Learn workflow typically used for programming biological systems:
