immPRINT

A scalable, blood-based biomarker for functional immune fitness and DNA repair competence

Challenge

There is a lack of functional biomarkers that directly measure immune fitness and DNA repair ability in research and clinical settings. 70% of severe immune defects go undiagnosed, leading to unnecessarily large clinical trials, preventable complications, and inappropriate treatment. 16% of self-reported healthy are classified as immunodeficient.

Solution

immPRINT uses one assay to evaluate immune system performance and DNA repair capacity, two key determinants of health. This enables versatile applications, including infection risk profiling, cancer risk assessment, vaccine prioritization, and donor stratification based on functional fitness.

  • Early detection of diseases linked to immune and DNA repair defects
  • Stable breakpoint signatures along time enable reproducible readouts
  • Mechanism-based approach independent of causative factors
  • Compatible with scalable sequencing and clinical workflows

High accuracy

  • 99% accuracy immune defects
  • 84accuracy DNA repair defects

Highly versatile

  • Identifying, among others, immune defects and virus reactivation
