Our approach

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) comprise up to 8% of the human genome.

After finding HERV‑K, a family of HERVs, expressed in a multitude of solid cancers, the team at SunnyBay has generated specialized therapeutics capable of targeting these cancers without affecting normal cells.


The team

SunnyBay’s key players have spent over 20 years researching HERV‑K.
