SciNeuro Pharmaceuticals and Alamar Biosciences Collaborate to Discover Novel Therapeutic Antibodies for CNS Diseases
Fremont, CA and Rockville, MD – 15 February 2022 – Alamar Biosciences (Alamar), a platform company focused on transforming the field of proteomics to enable the early detection of cancer and other diseases, and SciNeuro Pharmaceuticals (SciNeuro), a leader in the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics for the treatment of neurological diseases, announced a multi-program collaboration and license agreement to discover and develop novel therapeutic antibodies for targets selected by SciNeuro within the field of neurological diseases, based on Alamar’s Attobody platform.
“We are excited about our collaboration with Alamar to discover novel therapeutic antibodies for SciNeuro’s CNS programs,” commented Dr. Min Li, Founder and CEO of SciNeuro. “Alamar’s Attobody platform has already successfully generated promising antibodies against targets selected by SciNeuro. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Alamar to discover novel therapeutic candidates.”
Alamar’s proprietary Attobody™ platform produces a highly diverse pool of antibodies with single digit picomolar affinity and exquisite specificity. Compared to traditional antibody engineering, the Attobody platform deploys an accelerated antibody design and engineering process to generate novel antibodies without the need for affinity maturation.
Under the terms of the agreement, SciNeuro will have exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize therapeutic antibodies resulting from the collaboration. Alamar will receive research payments and is eligible to receive from SciNeuro downstream clinical and commercial milestone payments and royalties on net sales of resulting products.
