Øystein Rekdal

Dr. Rekdal is co-founder of Lytix Biopharma and has extensive research background within tumor immunology, oncolytic peptides and their abilities to induce potent tumor specific immune responses. Dr. Rekdal commenced his PhD on cytokines and tumor immunology in 1996. His postdoctoral work was focusing on oncolytic peptides and their abilities to induce potent tumor specific immune responses. This research forms the basis of Lytix Biopharma’s oncolytic peptide platform. Dr. Rekdal is leading the collaboration with several distinguished researchers and institutions to further explore the unique ability of oncolytic peptides to reprogram non-inflamed or suppressive tumor microenvironment in experimental models and in cancer patients.
