Volume 91, Issue 49
Roche and Switzerland’s Molecular Partners will jointly discover and develop cancer therapies incorporating Molecular Partners’ DARPin technology. DARPins are non-antibody-based small proteins engineered to selectively bind to and penetrate tumors. Conjugated to a drug molecule, DARPins can deliver toxic payloads to kill cancer cells. Under the agreement, Roche gets rights to several DARPin-based products in exchange for $60 million and research funding. If all development and sales milestones are met, Molecular Partners could receive up to $1.1 billion.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
