THE EXPERIMENTAL THERAPEUTICS INSTITUTE at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. entered into an agreement with the goal of accelerating the discovery of fully-human antibodies directed against therapeutic targets being researched by Mount Sinai investigators.

Regeneron will provide the ETI with access to VelocImmune technology and potential financial support to use the company’s proprietary antibody discovery platform to generate antibodies against targets of interest and explore potential therapeutic applications for human disease.

ETI will undertake preclinical research and Regeneron has an exclusive option to negotiate a license to the antibody for future clinical development and commercialization.

Developed by Regeneron scientists, VelocImmune is a genetic engineering platform that enables the fast and efficient creation of superior fully-human monoclonal antibodies for drug development.
