Sprint Bioscience is proud to announce that groundbreaking results from our DCPS program have been published in Leukemia, a leading journal in hematology and oncology from Nature. 📖 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41375-025-02661-z
The article highlights DCPS as a promising therapeutic target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). These findings pave the way for more precise patient selection and improved treatment outcomes, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

This publication is the result of a strong collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, NeoTargets AB Julian Walfridsson, BioReperia, and support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research: Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF has partially funded it through an industrial PhD fellowship.
A great step forward in our quest to make a difference for those affected by cancers such as AML.
