Spin-offs

Valorisation is a key aspect of research at the Faculty of Science. In this context spinoff companies are of importance. Spinoffs are academic companies that transform scientific knowledge into applications for commercial use.

The spinoffs of the Faculty of Science are:

Innocens (2022): AI based Clinical Decision Support System for Neonatal Intensive Care


Innocens is a spin-off company from the University Hospital Antwerp/University Antwerp founded. Their vision is to improve care by providing healthcare workers explainable insights on their growing landscape of available clinical data. Innocens developed an AI based Clinical Decision Support System for Neonatal Intensive Care that keeps the healtcare worker in the lead of her/his decision. The digital health worker provides a 24/7 risk prediction and explains its reasoning. The technology is privacy compliant and scalable to different intensive care settings. Innocens technology improves your clinical insights and enriches your data to create a continuous improving environment. The vision of Innocens is to aid decision-making of healthcare workers taking care of vulnerable infants. Together we create value to what all of us consider most valuable in our life!

ImmuneWatch (2021): Determines the target of T-cell receptors

Immunewatch is a Belgium based spin-off of the University of Antwerp and the Antwerp University Hospital, aiming to accelerate the development of vaccines and therapies by making immune repertoire data interpretable and clinically actionable. Using bio-informatics and artificial intelligence, Immunewatch determines the target of T-cell receptors (TCR), leading to​ improved prediction and monitoring of the immune response. By sequencing and analyzing the TCR repertoire, the team provides their customers with a better understanding of T-cell responses in the fields of infectious diseases, oncology and auto-immunity.
