“Over 30 companies and academic institutions globally have licensed our transgenic mouse platforms for their fully human monoclonal antibody discovery, with several programs at IND-ready stage, and one entered into clinical trial,” said Dr. Jingsong Wang, CEO of Harbour BioMed. “The increasing adoption of our platforms reflects their power as rapid and efficient antibody discovery tools and our strong intellectual property position.” Dr. Wang noted that the transgenic mouse platform licensing operations at Harbour Antibodies complements Harbour BioMed’s therapeutic discovery and development business.
About Harbour BioMed
Harbour BioMed is a global biopharmaceutical company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for cancer, with a focus on immuno-oncology, and immunological diseases. The company's discovery and development programs are built around its two patented transgenic mouse platforms (Harbour Mice) for human antibody discovery. The company is building its proprietary pipeline through its innovative internal discovery programs, and through in-licensing clinical stage assets that strategically fit its internal portfolio.

About Harbour Mice
A fully owned subsidiary of Harbour BioMed, Harbour Antibodies owns two strains of transgenic mice for generating human therapeutic antibodies: (1) mice that generate antibodies comprised of two heavy chains and two light chains (H2L2) with fully human variable regions; and (2) mice that generate novel “heavy chain only” antibodies (HCAb). The HCAb mice enable the development of antibody fragment-based therapeutics such as nanobodies, bi-specific antibodies and CAR-T with favorable biophysical properties.
