Chief of Staff to CEO

Our Mission

Immunai uses single-cell genomics and machine learning to discover and develop novel therapeutics that reprogram the immune system.

Background

Immunai is a fast-paced, innovative startup at the intersection of immunology and artificial intelligence. We are a multidisciplinary team of immunologists, computer scientists, engineers, physicians, mathematicians, computational biologists, operators, and entrepreneurs singularly focused on solving the audacious challenge of mapping the human immune system. Headquartered in New York City, with offices in San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Zurich and Prague, the company has raised $300M in funding.

Immunai has already built AMICA (the “Annotated Multi-omic Immune Cell Atlas”) by mapping millions of immune cells and their functions. This atlas will play an essential role in developing novel therapeutics and diagnostics in numerous diseases, including oncology and autoimmune disorders.

We are decoding the immune system with its trillions of cells and thousands of cell types and states. At immunai, we use recent advances in single-cell genomics, CRISPR screening, and machine learning to understand the immune system as never before; these insights allow us to find and validate drug targets and develop novel therapeutics.
