Astellas and Twist’s
Partnership Success
Our collaboration with Astellas helps bring our next-generation checkpoint inhibitor—designed against a
historically challenging target—one step closer to the clinic.
Challenging high-value targets, now druggable with Twist-discovered antibodies
Antibodies continue to expand the boundaries of druggable targets and treatable diseases. Yet bringing a biologic to market, even one that promises to be first- or best-in-class, is filled with pre-clinical and clinical obstacles that can’t be overcome alone.
At Twist Bioscience, we're seeking partnerships with academic, biotech, and biopharma teams to help us translate lead assets from our unique discovery and optimization platform into clinical successes. Through close collaboration, we can break the shackles off of hard-to-drug targets in strategic therapeutic areas, ensuring that no disease is labeled “untreatable” and no patient is left behind.
