Philogen is open to partnerships that are in line with the company’s corporate strategy to continue the development of its preclinical and clinical programs and to establish the commercialization of its late-stage clinical assets.
Philogen offers collaborations based on its proprietary tumor-targeting platforms and will selectively choose to partner with companies that have therapeutic expertise in relevant disease areas and a significant commitment to the development and commercialization of biologics.
Collaboration on DNA-encoded chemical library platform
Philogen´s Swiss subsidiary Philochem has pioneered the development of the DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology, which opens new possibilities for drug discovery in a fast and cost-effective way. Philochem owns proprietary technologies and large DNA-encoded chemical libraries containing more than one billion compounds. For more information, please visit Philochem.
Philochem offers flexible collaboration structures, adjusted to the requirements of the partner, for the screening of binders against few or several targets of choice.
Collaborations on antibodies and cyclic peptides
Philochem, the Discovery Unit of the Philogen Group, has constructed and validated antibody phage libraries comprising more than 100 billion members. These proprietary libraries enable the fast and cost-effective isolation of fully human monoclonal antibodies against virtually any antigen of interest. Philochem also owns proprietary phage libraries of short cyclic peptides comprising more than 100 billion members.
We offer flexible collaboration structures, adjusted to the requirements of the partner, for the screening of binders against one or more targets of choice. For more information, please visit: Library Technologies: Antibody Phage Libraries
Collaboration on GMP manufacturing
Philogen offers customized activities for cell line development and GMP manufacturing of biotherapeutics to selected industrial and academic partners in the frame of collaborations.
