Araris Biotech AGZurich-based oncology biotech Araris Biotech AG has entered into a research collaboration with an option to license with Japan’s Chugai Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Roche. The aim of the partnership is to develop next-generation antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs). While Araris itself is now Japanese-owned – a wholly owned subsidiary of Taiho Pharmaceutical, part of the Otsuka Group – its research activities remain firmly rooted in Zurich. That presence was highlighted last year when the Strüngmann brothers, German billionaire twins, awarded a prize to the company’s founders.
Lonza GroupCDMOs are currently setting the agenda across the industry. Alongside peers such as Vetter, Lonza has now delivered a clear statement of intent: strong results, sharper focus and an even more determined commitment to its core business. But the stronger investment strategy internationally frightens Switzerland – at least some analysts.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, doi: 10.3390/ijms17040561 JO - sPositive signals from a partnership with Takeda are allowing Heidelberg Pharma to push the setback from a milestone payment not received as planned from Telix somewhat into the background. Nevertheless, the company has been strongly shaken and is now hoping for calmer waters in order to drive its clinical development forward with greater focus.
QLi5 Therapeutics has completed a €6.26 million capital increase led by its Korean co-founder, Qurient, which has also increased its voting stake in the German biotech. The funding will be used to advance QLi5’s proteasome inhibitor(PI)-based antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) payload platform, an approach the company is presenting as a next step beyond today’s dominant ADC payload classes.
BioNTech SEFor BioNTech, 2026 could become one of the most decisive years since its pandemic-driven breakthrough. The pipeline is broad, the coffers are well stocked, partnerships are numerous, and the outlook extends far beyond 2030. Yet despite all the strategic preparation, one key question will be answered in the coming months: can the clinical data live up to the high expectations surrounding BioNTech’s cancer strategy?
RocheRoche is back in China — and this time at a very different price point. In a renewed partnership with MediLink Therapeutics, the Swiss pharmaceutical group has secured a second antibody–drug conjugate (ADC), underlining how the first collaboration has paid dividends for both sides.
Yumab GmbHAntibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) hinge on the antibody, not merely the payload or linker. Antibody precision defines efficacy, safety and therapeutic window. Emerging antibody formats – bispecifics, conditional designs and TCR-mimics – expand target space, demanding rigorous engineering to realise next-generation ADC potential.
Die Hoffotografen GmbHSolid tumours pose major obstacles for cell therapies, but German-American biotech T-knife is tackling them head-on. CEO Tom Soloway and CTO Elisa Kieback share how their “supercharged” TCR-Ts are engineered to overcome these challenges.
BIOCOM InterrelationsFollowing its US$361 m Series C financing, Tubulis AG presented first Phase I/IIa data on its lead ADC, TUB-040, at ESMO 2025 in Berlin. The study focuseds on patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). TUB-040 shows clear differentiation potential
