Information about Molecular Partners AG

Molecular Partners AG is a clinical-stage biotech company pioneering the design and development of DARPin therapeutics for medical challenges other drug modalities cannot readily address. Founded in 2004 by a group of Ph D students from the University of Zurich, we are a team of about 180 dedicated and passionate colleagues with operations in Switzerland and the U.S. DARPin (Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein) therapeutics are a new class of custom-built protein drugs based on natural binding proteins that open new dimensions of multi-functionality and multi-target specificity in drug design.
DARPin therapeutics have been clinically validated across several therapeutic areas, including oncology, ophthalmology and virology, and we have programs in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development, spanning immuno-oncology and targeted Radio-DARPin therapy.
Through our 20 years of leadership and experience with DARPins, as well as through partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Novartis and Orano Med, we are committed to bringing novel, life-changing therapies to patients.
We seek passionate, creative, and dynamic individuals to join us on our mission.
