Immunophotonics Announces Appointment of Miguel Zubizarreta to Its Board of Directors
As a tech pioneer and serial entrepreneur, Mr. Zubizarreta possesses unique tactical and strategic capabilities that will contribute to guiding the company through phase 2 development and strategic partnering. When asked to comment on his decision to cross over as an investor into biotech, Mr. Zubizarreta candidly summarized, “One of the things that appeals to me about Immunophotonics is that, rather than focusing on creating a specific cure for a single indication, it’s developing an entire process. Immunophotonics has established an approach that is both widely applicable and targeted toward creating a response in the body that can be used to address a number of different indications and illnesses.”
Lu Alleruzzo, CEO of Immunophotonics, welcomed Mr. Zubizarreta’s visionary approach, acknowledging, “Miguel Zubizarreta brings a powerful perspective in helping us drive innovative solutions for patients in oncology and beyond. He will uniquely contribute to challenging the status quo, paving new paths, and opening new opportunities in the context of the total potential of our intellectual property. We are fortunate to have Miguel on the board, and I genuinely look forward to having the benefit of his vast experience.”

About Immunophotonics
Immunophotonics, Inc. is a privately owned clinical-stage biotech company pioneering the field of Interventional Immuno-Oncology™. IP-001, the first asset from the company’s intellectual property platform, has the potential to overcome the local defenses of the tumor microenvironment to enable a tumor-specific anticancer immune response in multiple solid tumor indications. The company is in phase 2 development and is based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA with subsidiaries in Bern, Switzerland and Tianjin, China.
About IP-001
IP-001 is a proprietary glycan polymer that acts both as an antigen depot and a potent immune activator capable of stimulating immunological responses against cancer and infectious diseases. It is designed to 1) leverage tumor antigens liberated by ablation by prolonging their availability, 2) facilitate the recruitment and activation of innate immune cells such as antigen-presenting cells (APCs), 3) increase the uptake of the tumor antigens into the activated APCs, and 4) lead to a downstream adaptive immunity. This ignited systemic response from the adaptive immune system seeks out and eliminates the identified targets throughout the body.
