Contract developer and manufacturer (CDMO) of antibody-drug conjugates, spun off from WuXi Biologics.
Contract developer and manufacturer (CDMO) of antibody-drug conjugates, spun off from WuXi Biologics.
Customers pay fees for developing the manufacturing process, then for each batch of clinical and eventually commercial supply, so each project starts small and grows as the customer's drug advances. It handles the antibody, the toxin-linker and the final joining step under one roof.
In one line: A specialized CDMO focused on ADC cancer drugs, like a niche Lonza/Catalent.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, scale). Specialized ADC bioconjugation expertise and capacity, with high switching costs once qualified.
