Personalizing preventive medicine through individual immune system insights

immPRINT is an academic diagnostic technology developed at the Max Delbrück Center, designed to functionally assess immune competence. The team has presented the technology at BIONNALE25 and other events affiliated with the Max Delbrück Center.

The Problem​

About 1 in 400 individuals is affected by an undiagnosed primary immunodeficiency (PID), often experiencing preventable complications such as recurrent infections, increased postoperative morbidity, and intolerance to radiotherapy. This high level of underdiagnosis reflects the absence of a simple, reliable diagnostic assay. Identification still relies largely on clinical history and practitioner experience. Among the most serious and costly consequences of PID is an increased susceptibility to infections. Patients are at particularly high risk of, for example, impaired wound healing following surgery with higher complication rates. Early identification of these vulnerable individuals is critical, as it enables access to treatments that can significantly improve both life expectancy and quality of life.

The Solution​

immPRINT is a simple, high-accuracy solution for identifying immunodeficiency, achieving 99% accuracy from a single tube of blood. A first-in-class approach, that integrates a straightforward pipeline designed for easy implementation within existing clinical workflows. By enabling reliable PID detection, immPRINT supports more precise patient stratification, helping improved clinical trial selection or clinically actionable applications, e.g. early identification of post-surgical complications.
