July 9, 2021 -- I-Mab announced it has signed onto two new collaborations with biotech companies in China in what company leaders say will strengthen its innovation pipeline.
The company is collaborating with Immorna and NeoX Biotech, who will receive undisclosed upfront and/or milestone payments.
I-Mab will develop novel anticancer antibody therapeutics through Immorna's self-replicating mRNA platform. I-Mab will meanwhile work with NeoX Biotech for up to 10 novel biologics programs using NeoX's artificial intelligence algorithm.
The announcement is a new addition to I-Mab's existing collaboration agreements with Complix for its cell-penetrating antibody platform and Affinity for its masking antibody platform in March 2021.
