ImmunoBiochem has announced its plans to form a partnership with Centre for Commercialization of Antibodies and Biologics (CCAB) to develop and engineer synthetic antibody technologies and advance its antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology platform.

The agreement enables ImmunoBiochem to develop human therapeutics antibodies against its lead cancer candidate and engineer them into ADCs.

It also further enables CCAB to grant licensing options to ImmunoBiochem for its new intellectual property to support the latter to move from proof of concept to developing ready therapeutic drugs.

Promethera Biosciences is set to advance its therapeutic pipeline for a wide range of liver diseases, including large indications through the acquisition of Cytonet’s assets in exchange of its shares.

The 18-person Durham team working on liver cell therapy, cell therapy product manufacturing and liver sourcing, will join Promethera, along with a team of seven from Germany, to assist the filing of new drug submissions for Heparesc with Health Canada.
