Predictive Immune Mapping for Personalized Respiratory Virus Treatments and Vaccines

healthTestedTRL 4

Imagine your body's immune system is like a security team; some people have a team that overreacts, while others are too slow to respond to a virus. This work studies why people react so differently to COVID-19, flu, and RSV by looking at their genetic blueprints and blood samples. By using tiny lab-grown lung models, they can test how different people might respond to a treatment before ever giving it to a patient.

The business problem

What needed solving

Current respiratory virus treatments are generic and supportive because we don't know why some patients crash while others recover. This leads to inefficient healthcare spending and higher mortality rates.

The solution

What was built

A database of 4,400+ patient samples and machine learning models to predict disease outcomes based on immune and genetic data.

Who can put this to work

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Vaccine Developer

If you are a vaccine developer dealing with low efficacy across diverse populations — this project developed deep immunological phenotypes and genetic datasets that help identify which groups need specific vaccine formulations.

Diagnostics
SME
Target: Precision Medicine Startup

If you are a diagnostics company dealing with the inability to predict patient outcomes — this project developed machine learning models and predictive tools that can help personalize treatment based on a patient's immune profile.

Biotechnology
mid-size
Target: Drug Discovery Firm

If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with high failure rates in clinical trials — this project developed lung-on-chip and organoid systems to validate therapeutic targets before human testing.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or price for accessing these predictive models?

Based on available project data, the project aims to make findings available on a dedicated website for clinicians and researchers, but specific pricing for commercial licenses is not mentioned.

Can these findings be scaled to an industrial level for mass diagnostics?

The project uses machine learning and bioinformatics to integrate large datasets, which are inherently scalable, though the physical organoid models are currently for validation purposes.

What is the IP and licensing status of the developed tools?

Based on available project data, the results are intended to be FAIR, open, and reusable to support public health resilience, though specific patent filings are not listed.

How does this integrate with existing clinical workflows?

The project focuses on creating interoperable datasets and tools that can be integrated into European health infrastructures to guide clinical management.

What is the timeline for the availability of these results?

The project period runs from 2022-08-01 to 2026-07-31, with data currently being generated from cohorts in Denmark and Spain.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, with 4 universities and 4 research institutes. While there is only one industrial partner (representing a 9% industry ratio), the presence of the Statens Serum Institut as coordinator provides strong institutional backing and access to large-scale biobanking and clinical cohorts across 5 countries.
