Following up on a 2021 partnership with Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Bridgene Biosciences Inc. has signed up a second international drug company, Galapagos NV, to use its chemoproteomic platform, IMTAC (Isobaric Mass Tagged Affinity Characterization), to discover small-molecule drug candidates.
Multiple studies at the 65th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting 2023 have the potential to change the treatment paradigm for first-line treatment of multiple myeloma.
It’s not every day you see a small drug company’s presentations get picked for both the plenary session and the late-breaker session at a conference, but Syndax Pharmaceuticals Inc. managed to do just that at the 65th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting 2023 – with a little help from a friend.
CAR T-cell therapies have worked well at curing blood malignancies, but a group out of the University Hospital of Erlangen have repurposed the technology as a treatment for autoimmune diseases. The expansion into new diseases has required cooperation between multiple departments, with CAR T experts taking the lead on treatment and potential side effects, and rheumatologists measuring the outcomes of the treatment.
Performing experiments and potentially manufacturing products in space offers some unique advantages in a near-zero gravity environment. Space changes buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure and convective heat flow. Researchers are studying how those changes affect cells, but also looking to take advantage of the changes to create products in manufacturing processes that wouldn’t be possible on earth.
According to venture capitalists on three different panels at Biocom California’s Global Life Science Partnering & Investor Conference, there’s still money available for newcos looking to get started. But the pitch they’re going to have to make to VCs is a little different than what would have worked a few years ago.
During two different panels at Biocom California’s Global Life Science Partnering & Investor Conference, executives from a variety of pharmaceutical companies laid out their wants and needs in the current market environment. Large drug companies have relied on biotech companies to build out their pipelines for many years, but the level of outside inventions has been increasing over the last few years.

Eisai Co. Ltd. and Biogen Inc. presented the full data set for the Clarity Alzheimer’s disease trial of lecanemab at the 2022 Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease, which was simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The data supported the top-line results released in September 2022.
