MD Anderson Cancer Center and Kymab announced a partnership in immuno-oncology research.
The program will be conducted with MD Anderson’s Oncology Research for Biologics and Immunotherapy Translation unit. The partnership will focus on developing novel human therapeutic antibodies to treat a variety of cancers using Kymab’s Kymouse antibody discovery platform. The agreement is for an initial period of five years.
The ORBIT platform is a centralized organization within MD Anderson, which focuses on translating discoveries into clinically relevant anti-cancer mAbs. ORBIT’s scientific directors are Jeffrey Molldrem, professor of the Department of Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapy, and Michael Curran, professor of the Department of Immunology.
