Affimed joins the Molecular Imaging Technology Initiative
BMBF awards Affimed a funding grant of €550K
BMBF supports the Molecular Imaging Technology Initiative for the development of new diagnostic methods and imaging technologies for clinical use and pharmaceutical applications.
Within this collaboration, Affimed will identify and isolate new molecules binding to membrane-associated targets on tumour tissues, using its highly diverse human antibody libraries. The optimised binding molecules in their final format will be further characterized in vitro by the other above mentioned collaboration partners. The main goal is to find new diagnostic tracer molecules for use in imaging technologies, but identified molecules could also be used for in vitro diagnostic purposes or the development of new pharmaceutical therapeutics.
