About Elicio Therapeutics Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELTX) is a clinical‑stage biotechnology company advancing a pipeline of novel lymph node‑targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of some of the most aggressive cancers. By combining expertise in immunology and immunotherapy, Elicio is harnessing the natural power of the immune system with the AMP technology, which allows for therapeutic payloads to be delivered directly to lymph nodes, enhancing the immune system’s cancer‑fighting capabilities. Engineered to synchronize immunity in these highly potent sites, AMP enhances the magnitude, potency, quality and durability of the immune response to drive antitumor activity. The company’s R&D pipeline includes off‑the‑shelf therapeutic cancer immunotherapy ELI‑002, ELI‑007 and ELI‑008. For more information, visit www.elicio.com.
About the Amphiphile Platform Elicio’s proprietary AMP platform delivers investigational immunotherapeutics directly to the lymph nodes by latching on to circulating albumin. Preclinical models demonstrate lymph node‑specific engagement drives robust and durable adaptive immune responses, potentially translating to superior clinical benefits compared to non‑targeted approaches.
Compensation Base salary $70,000 – $85,000 annually, depending on experience, education, and relevant skills. Compensation also includes an annual bonus, equity, and the company's benefits package.
