MorphoSys partners to access GPCR-Targeting tech
MorphoSys based out of Munich and G7 Therapeutics AG of Zurich announced today that they have signed an agreement to collaborate on novel antibody therapeutics targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and potentially other disease-related transmembrane proteins such as ion channels. Under the terms of the agreement, G7 Therapeutics will generate a set of disease-relevant receptors proposed by MorphoSys. MorphoSys will then apply its proprietary Ylanthia antibody library to discover and develop antibody therapeutics against these receptors. MorphoSys has the right to sublicense to third parties the access to these targets in conjunction with therapeutic antibody candidates.Dr. Marlies Sproll, Chief Scientific Officer of MorphoSys AG, commented: “G7 Therapeutics’ approach using directed evolution technologies broadens our existing development capabilities in this innovative area of research. High quality therapeutic antibodies targeting GPCRs and other transmembrane molecules represent a promising addition to our proprietary development pipeline.”
