| Aflatoxins are immunotoxins that frequently contaminate staple foods in The Gambia and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in high exposure throughout life. The company has four technologies: engineered mAbs, mAb-drug conjugates, single-chain immunotoxins and antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT).
