Bayer trumpets $1bn CRISPR deal with Mammoth Bio

pharmaphorum

Bayer has bolstered its cell and gene therapy platform by securing access to a CRISPR-based gene-editing platform developed by US biotech Mammoth Biosciences. CRISPR drugs can be used to modify the expression of disease-associated proteins in the body, for example, by correcting a mutation in a specific gene.

Birinapant licensing; AvantGen, IGM pairs up for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies; BeiGene, Novartis to co-dvelop Tislelizumab; Valo raises USD190 M; Bluebird Bio Spins-off

Delveinsight

Birinapant is a clinical-stage SMAC mimetic that degrades Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) by binding to them, ultimately leading to cell death in tumor cells. The companies believe that their candidate in its original IgG format has shown potent neutralization activity in in vitro assays and in an in vivo animal model.
