ProteoNic and ORYZON awarded European grant for joint development of therapeutic antibodies against prostate cancer
ProteoNic and ORYZON genomics have joined forces to develop new antibodies against prostate cancer and generate cost-effective production-ready cell lines. ProteoNic will use its expression expertise and UNic™ toolbox production yield enhancer to optimize the potential of ORYZON’s proprietary targets without compromising antibody quality. By awarding the joint venture a EuroTrans-Bio grant, the EU recognizes the unique combination of skills that will serve an unmet medical need for new prostate cancer diagnostics and treatment.
The new venture is focusing on identifying antibodies against prostate cancer-specific markers while validating these markers. ORYZON and ProteoNic are also developing faster and more cost-effective ways of identifying, characterizing and producing therapeutic monoclonal antibodies to combat the disease. The companies expect to select and produce antibodies for preclinical proof-of-concept studies within the next two years.

Antibodies are specialized molecules of our immune system that can specifically recognize and neutralize pathogens or foreign substances. Antibody research in biotech and pharma has recognized this natural defense potential and is working intensively to make it therapeutically useful. From monoclonal antibodies used against cancer or autoimmune diseases to antibody-drug conjugates that specifically transport drugs to disease cells - the possibilities are enormous
