Hookipa Pharma
HOOKIPA Pharma Inc. [HOOK] is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of immunotherapeutics based on a proprietary arenavirus platform that is designed to reprogram the body’s immune system.
Hookipa uses its non-replicating and replicating technologies to elicit directly within patients a powerful and durable response of antigen-specific killer T cells and antibodies, thereby activating essential immune defenses against infectious diseases and cancers. The company's platform technology is based on engineering arenaviruses to carry and deliver virus-specific or tumor-specific genes to dendritic cells, which are natural activators of killer T cells, also known as cytotoxic T cells, or CD8+ T cells.
