Information about Molecular Partners AG

Founded in 2004 by a group of Ph D students as a spin-off from the University of Zurich, Molecular Partners AG is a thriving and steadily growing clinical stage biotech company located in Zurich-Schlieren (Switzerland) with 200 highly qualified employees. In order to advance modern medicine and significantly improve the management of serious diseases, we have developed and successfully established a powerful new class of potent, specific and versatile small protein therapies, called DARPin therapeutics. The continuous development of a broad portfolio of therapeutic product candidates in oncology, virology and ophthalmology based on the company’s proprietary DARPin platform allowed a successful listing of the company on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq (ticker: MOLN). Next to our own pipeline of drug candidates we have entered into collaborations with leading international pharmaceutical companies, including Abb Vie, Amgen and Novartis. The highly dedicated, multi-disciplined team at MP is committed to developing breakthrough medicines for serious diseases.
