Developer of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) linker technology designed to deliver potent drugs specifically to the desired tissue. The company's technology is focused on creating ADCs that are powerful biopharmaceuticals, delivering highly toxic drugs, or payloads, specifically to cancer cells, molecular design enables the highly selective delivery of any payload, often a potent anti-cancer drug, to the diseased tissue, while healthy parts of the human body are spared, enabling researchers to generate efficient antibody-drug conjugates that do not need antibody engineering.
