ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Leverages Proprietary Technology and Expertise to Create Talem Therapeutics

VICTORIAApril 4, 2019 /CNW/ – ImmunoPrecise (TSX:IPA)(OTC:IPATF)(FRA: TQB2) announces it has formed a wholly-owned, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based subsidiary, Talem Therapeutics (Talem). Talem is focused on the discovery and development of next-generation, fully-human, monoclonal therapeutic antibodies targeting neurology, immuno-oncology, gastroenterology, inflammation, and rare/specialty diseases. Using proprietary antibody discovery platforms and innovative technologies, Talem will be producing a rich pipeline of high quality and distinct antibodies.

The demand for safe, therapeutic, monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidates with more complex target product profiles is driving a need for more robust discoveries. Talem was founded to expedite the high-powered discovery and development of custom therapeutics produced as both internal assets as well as in response to partnership requests with large pharma.

Talem Therapeutics’ strategy is to develop on-demand and in-house antibodies through pre-clinical stage prior to licensing for clinical partners. The speed and adaptability of IPAs platforms enables Talem to quickly respond to targets based on years of experience and expertise in the antibody discovery sector.  Along with the designated pre-clinical programs, Talem is also engaging in negotiations on joint research and development (R&D) programs with numerous pharmaceutical companies.
