We showcase breakthrough data on our engineered oncolytic viral therapy, a first-in-class for pediatric liver cancer We are excited to share that Humane Genomics is returning to the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting for the third time! With over 23,000 attendees (in 2024), AACR is the largest gathering of cancer researchers, clinicians, survivors, and advocates in the world. It is an honor to be invited back to this prestigious event where we will be showcasing our groundbreaking…

Announcing our Series Seed financing

February 12, 2025 pete 0 Comment

Six years ago, I had dinner with my friend and co-founder Andrew Hessel and he told me something that blew my mind: it is possible to 3D print DNA. With this technology, we could engineer viruses for all kinds of purposes. One of the most compelling is to use these viruses as cancer therapies. My curiosity went into overdrive. Soon, we were spending long hours with our other co-founder Chad Moles, Chief Science Officer, figuring out how to turn this…

Introduction – Manal

January 13, 2025 pete 0 Comment

Tell me a bit about yourself. Hi there! I’m Manal, a born and bred New Yorker. Being a true child of the diaspora, I also spent a chunk of my life in Lebanon, my parents’ homeland. I’m a self-professed nerd (and proud), so in retrospect, it doesn’t seem too surprising that I eventually became a scientist. My love of science began long before I ever stepped foot into a laboratory. Growing up, I was fascinated by the wonders of the…

Improving the success rate of engineering RNA viruses

November 21, 2024 Chad Moles 0 Comment

In our previous post on this topic, we introduced the details on how to make a replicating RNA virus from its genome (DNA). In this post, we want to zoom in on the details a bit more and share how we have improved the success rate of engineering viruses to over 70%. If you have not read the previous post on the science of viral engineering and want to get a first level understanding on how the process works, go…

Announcing our first publication

May 8, 2023 Chad Moles 1 comment

We are thrilled to announce the publication of Humane Genomics’ first article. We contributed a chapter to the International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology (IRCMB). This is a book series by Elsevier, as part of a special issue on Viral Vectors in Cancer Immunotherapy. Our review, titled “Rational selection of an ideal oncolytic virus to address current limitations in clinical translation,” offers valuable insights for investors, virologists, and newcomers to the field alike. In our article, we summarize the…

Presenting at AACR

We are excited to announce we are presenting at the AACR annual meeting for the first time. AACR is the American Association for Cancer Research and its meeting is the largest in the world of cancer research. Last year, over 20,000 scientists, clinicians and other health care professionals, and survivors and patient advocates from around the world traveled to New Orleans. The AACR meeting for 2023 is held in Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida and we have been invited…
