17 October 2025

New York-based Immunai, a biotech that uses single-cell genomics and machine learning to discover and improve development of novel therapeutics by decoding the immune system, has announced a new agreement with AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) for the development of a target for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

The target was identified through Immunai’s immunodynamics engine (IDE), built on its proprietary immune cell atlas, AMICA.

Under the terms of the agreement, AstraZeneca will gain exclusive rights to develop and commercialize therapeutics directed at the target.
