Recolony AG
Profile
The intestinal microbiota is instrumental to shape our immune system and its functions. At Recolony, we aim to harness the potential of beneficial gut microbiota and to develop a new class of cancer immunotherapy. In that effort, we identified specific bacterial species that are less abundant in CRC patients compared to healthy individuals. Oral supplementation of these bacteria causes a very effective anti-tumor activity in various cancer models through specific activation of cytotoxic T-cells.
