Isogenica and Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research team up to discover novel antibody therapeutics
Announcing a new collaboration with the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research
UK-based antibody engineering experts Isogenica are proud to announce a new collaboration with the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research in Maryland USA, currently operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc. (FNLCR). The multi-project partnership aims to discover novel molecules that will enable difficult measurements of biomarkers of molecular effectiveness of cancer immuno-oncology agents with clinical laboratory assays.
Isogenica is a biotechnology company specialising in the discovery and optimisation of highly versatile small format antibodies (VHHs), originally derived from camelids, which
are used to construct next generation biotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and other serious diseases. VHHs can be readily chained together and assembled to create bi- or multi-specific biotherapeutics, and also used for targeted drug delivery as components of ADCs or in cell and gene therapies including CAR-Ts.
The Isogenica team will be supporting research at the FNLCR with their extensive knowledge and resources in the field of VHH biotherapeutics, contributing to the discovery of clinical solutions to pressing healthcare needs. This partnership will serve as a foundation for cooperation between the two organisations, leveraging each of their strengths and expertise to drive future discoveries.
Director of Business Development at Isogenica, David Mead, says, “We are delighted to enter into a broad partnership with FNLCR, a prestigious institute dedicated in its application of biomedical science to improve human healthcare. The VHH antibodies will provide a unique approach to enhancing the work of FNLCR”.
