Products

Investigational ADC targeting EphA5 (lead candidate)

An investigational antibody‑drug conjugate that targets the EphA5 receptor tyrosine kinase; characterized by selective binding, rapid internalization, in vitro cytotoxicity against EphA5-expressing cells, and dose‑dependent anti-tumor activity in PDX models; currently in first-in-human Phase 1/1b dose‑finding and expansion studies.

ADC program in IND‑enabling studies (secondary pipeline program)

An ADC development program targeting a novel tumor antigen that is in IND‑enabling studies to support potential clinical entry.

Additional ADC discovery programs (preclinical pipeline)

Early-stage ADC programs targeting novel antigens discovered via in vivo selection; some programs are at discovery or preclinical stages with details forthcoming.


Services

Identification of antibody–target pairs using in vivo selection approaches that prioritize tumor localization, selective binding, internalization, and stability to generate candidates for ADC development.

Partnerships and sponsored research with academic institutions and industry partners to in-license discovery assets and advance ADC programs through preclinical and IND-enabling stages.
