Business development and ventures

Partnerships with industry are key to advancing our drug discovery and development programs forward.

Through our established partnerships with pharmaceutical and other biotechnology companies, we are developing novel therapies that could be effective in treating certain cancers, immune disorders and infectious diseases, as well as developmental and neurodegenerative diseases.
