Tubulis

Biotech & Life Sciences · Planegg, Germany · Founded 2019

Tubulis is a biotechnology startup that operates in the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in the development of next-generation Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs). These are targeted drugs designed to deliver cytotoxic agents directly to cancer cells, thereby increasing the effectiveness of treatment while reducing side effects. Tubulis' unique approach aims to expand the therapeutic potential of these protein-drug conjugates by increasing design flexibility and overcoming constraints of toxicity, efficacy, and indication. The company's business model revolves around the development of new ADCs to fill its pipeline and partnering with other pharmaceutical companies to bring these drugs to market. One of its key partnerships is with Oncoteq, for the development of TUB-010, a CD30-targeting ADC. Tubulis has also entered into a strategic license agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb, a leading pharmaceutical company, to develop next-generation ADCs for cancer treatment. Tubulis generates revenue through these strategic partnerships and licensing agreements, where it receives upfront payments, milestone payments based on the progress of drug development, and potential royalties from the sale of any approved drugs. The company also publishes research articles, such as the one in Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, highlighting the advantages of its proprietary P5/Tubutecan platform. The company's primary clients are other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies interested in developing and commercializing novel ADCs. By offering a unique and flexible approach to ADC design, Tubulis is well-positioned to serve a significant market need in the oncology drug development space.
