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.
