About Etcembly

Etcembly is a UK biotech company harnessing the power of the adaptive immune system to transform the precision, scale and speed of clinical development of immunotherapeutics.

T Cell receptors (TCRs) constitute one of the most promising classes of emerging immunotherapies. Until now, they have remained one of the most complex facets of immune biology, hindering the effective delivery of immunotherapies to patients.

Etcembly takes a novel, multi-modal approach to engineering optimal TCRs for targeted patient populations. The company's pioneering machine learning platform EMLy^TM combines in silico prediction with in vitro optimisation. The unification of AI driven design with empirical validation allows the rapid decoding of T cell repertoires leading to TCRs primed for the clinic.

The Company eliminates a significant bottleneck for its industry partners to create safe and potent therapeutic assets and accelerating drug development timelines in indications across oncology, autoimmunity and infectious diseases.

The Company was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Oxfordshire, UK. Our partners include Illumina, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Zelluna AS, SingHealth, National Cancer Centre Singapore and Imperial College London.
