Covagen and Roche extend collaboration on the use of Fynomers in drug discovery
Dr. Julian Bertschinger, CEO and co-founder of Covagen commented: “After the successful completion of all milestones of the previous contract we are proud to extend the collaboration with Roche.”
Dr. Dragan Grabulovski, CSO and co-founder of Covagen added: “Roche is one of the leading science-based healthcare companies in the field of biopharmaceuticals, and we look forward to working together.”
Fynomers are a novel class of small binding proteins that can be used for various therapeutic applications. Due to their favorable properties, several Fynomers can be linked to yield multivalent molecules that bind with very high affinity to their targets. Moreover, it is straightforward to engineer bispecific Fynomers, which are able to bind to two antigens simultaneously, thus yielding drug candidates with new mechanisms of action.
