Israel’s Tikcro Technologies Ltd., which supports early stage development projects in growth areas, with a focus on biotechnology, announced that it has entered into a research and license agreement with Yeda Research and Development Company Ltd., the technology transfer arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. This agreement is for the development of new antibodies originating from specified research at the Weizmann Institute of Science addressing identified targets of cancer immune checkpoints.
Under the agreement, Tikcro will provide funding for further research at the Weizmann Institute of Science to develop certain antibodies selected and verified in pre-clinical trials. The antibodies may have high selectivity and binding qualities towards cancer immune checkpoints. Further research and development will be required to promote such antibodies as therapeutic candidates for immune modulation in oncology.
