INmune Bio Invited to Speak on Company's Advancements
in Cancer Treatments at the Targeting Innate Immunity Congress and MarketsandMarkets Next Gen Immuno-Oncology Congress
La Jolla, CA., Sept. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune
Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB), an immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient's innate
immune system to fight disease, today announced that RJ Tesi, M.D., Co-Founder and CEO, and Mark Lowdell, Ph.D., Co-Founder and
Chief Scientific Officer, will present at the first ever Targeting Innate Immunity Congress, taking place in the biotech hub
of Cambridge, Mass. from Sept. 23 through 25.
The conference is an opportunity for INmune Bio to showcase
its two leading innate compounds in the hopes of improving the treatment of cancer to industry leaders, experts, academic researchers
and clinicians in the field of innate immunity. In addition to presenting at the conference, Dr. Tesi and Dr. Lowdell will be instructing
a course on the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in immunosuppression.
"This panel will bring together other experts from
industry and academia to explore the role of the innate immune system in the TME and in cancer drug development," said Dr.
In addition to speaking at the Targeting Innate Immunity
Congress this month, Dr. Tesi will also take part in a speaking engagement at the second annual MarketsandMarkets Next Gen
Immuno-Oncology Congress on Sept. 19 in Philadelphia.
Below is a schedule of upcoming presentations:
MarketsandMarkets Next Gen Immuno-Oncology Congress
Thursday, September 19 at 11:40 a.m.
"Reversing Trastuzumab Resistance in HER2+ Breast Cancer"
Dr. Tesi will discuss Mucin 4 (MUC4) protein and how it predicts trastuzumab resistance in HER2+ breast cancer, the role of soluble
tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in MUC4 expression and how INmune Bio's drug candidate, INB03 works in combination with trastuzumab
to reverse resistance in MUC4/HER+ breast cancer.
Targeting Innate Immunity Congress
Monday, September 24 at 3:30 - 6:00 p.m.
Short Course: "Understanding and Modulating Tumor Microenvironment for Immunotherapy"
Dr. Tesi and Dr. Lowdell will instruct an interactive short course on the role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in immunosuppression.
They will discuss strategies to change the immunosuppressive nature of the TME to one that supports immune responses and enhances
the impact of tumor immunotherapy. Those who attend will walk away with an understanding of the following:
Wednesday, September 25 at 11:40 a.m.
"Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cell (MDSC): The Queen Bee of the Tumor Microenvironment (TME)"
As part of the "Modulating Macrophages in the Tumor Microenvironment" panel, Dr. Tesi will discuss targeting myeloid
derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as an efficient way to reverse tumor microenvironment (TME) immunobiology. His discussion will
address the complexity of TME and how it contributes to failure of therapy, as well as understanding how targeting soluble tumor
necrosis factor (TNF) offers a solution to the resistance to therapy when part of combination therapy. Dr. Tesi will also discuss
the results of the Phase I trial for INmune Bio's drug candidate, INB03 in patients with advanced cancer.
Wednesday, September 25 at 1:45 p.m.
"What do Tumor Cells do to NK Cells? - Harnessing the Tumor-NK Interaction for Clinical Benefit"
Dr. Lowdell will participate in the "Advancing Innate Cell Therapies to the Clinic" portion of the conference to discuss
how relapsed cancer cells evade natural killer (NK) cells, and how priming NK cells could effectively kill these cancer cells.
Dr. Lowdell will also discuss INmune Bio's INKmune drug candidate.
About INmune Bio, Inc.
INmune Bio, Inc. is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: INMB) clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies targeting
the innate immune system to fight disease. INmune Bio is developing three product platforms: two products that reengineer the patient's
innate immune system's response to cancer and one product to treat neuroinflammation that is currently focused on Alzheimer's
disease. INKmune is a natural killer (NK) cell therapeutic that primes the patient's NK cells to attack minimal residual
disease, the remaining cancer cells that are difficult to detect, which often cause relapse. INB03 inhibits myeloid-derived suppressor
cells (MDSC), which often cause resistance to immunotherapy, such as anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors. XPro1595 targets neuroinflammation,
which causes microglial activation and neuronal cell death. INmune Bio's product platforms utilize a precision medicine approach
for the treatment of a wide variety of hematologic malignancies, solid tumors and chronic inflammation. To learn more, please visit www.inmunebio.com.
