Development of novel anti-colon cancer drugs


Syntab Therapeutics is the leading partner of a novel project called NovoKolon. Funded by the initiative “ZukunftBio.NRW” initiated by the state Northrhine-Westphalia, two renowned academic groups under the umbrella of RWTH Aachen University Hospital support Syntab Therapeutics in the development of ISEr-based drugs against colon cancer. NovoKolon has a total volume of approx. 1 million Euro. As part of the initiative, Syntab’s ISErs will be tested in a novel tissue based colon model that offers best predictions of the drugs‘ behaviour in subsequent clinical studies.

ISErs to be tested in novel mamma explant model


Syntab Therapeutics is the leading partner of a novel initiative called MammaExplant. Funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung), two SME and a renowned academic institute are to develop the explant in order avoid animal trials when testing drugs against mamma tumors in the future. The initiative has a volume of approx. 600.000 Euro. As part of the initiative, Syntab’s ISErs will be tested in the novel model in direct comparison to their application in a rodent model. Explants are models based on human tissue of different donors and offer best predictions of the drugs‘ behaviour in subsequent clinical studies.

Syntab Therapeutics up to co-operate on a high-throughput binder generation approach


Syntab Therapeutics has signed an agreement with Efficient Robotics GmbH, Kornwestheim, Germany, in order to create an innovative binder peptide unit capable to synthesize and screen thousands of potential binders within short time. With the help of Efficient Robotics’s microfluidics technology, this unit is up to be realized. A proof-of-principle has already been shown. The co-operation enables Syntab Therapeutics to realize novel immunooncologic drug molecules with strong binding specificities for diverse targets in short time.
