This is the third novel target from the collaboration that has been identified using the Benevolent Platform™ across two disease areas, IPF and chronic kidney disease, and subsequently validated and selected for portfolio entry by AstraZeneca.
The innovative collaboration structure scientists and technologists from the two companies working side-by-side, combining the Benevolent Platform™ — an AI-driven drug discovery platform and biomedical knowledge graph with AstraZeneca’s scientific expertise and rich datasets.
The strategic collaboration between the two companies will allow Initium Therapeutics to expand their antibody drug pipeline using GenScript ProBio's ultra-rapid, high-efficient Berkeley Lights Beacon platform.
The funding will be used to advance the company’s lead candidates in respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical need, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
