History

We believe that T cells will shape the future of medicine. That is why we want to help accelerate the development of therapeutics and diagnostics that leverage their power. To do this we develop AI-based models that give you unique and predictive insights in T cell response.

ImmuneWatch is a spin-off company born from years of collaboration between clinicians and data scientists at the University of Antwerp and Antwerp University Hospital in Belgium. We have founded ImmuneWatch to bring our innovations closer to patients and make a real difference in their lives.
