A French biotech company has announced an agreement with a center for biomedical research of which it is a spin-off.

Oncovita has entered into a licensing agreement with Institut Pasteur (pictured above), granting it an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize therapies based on the immuno-oncolytic measles virus platform.

The licensed technology is based on changes in the measles viral genome designed to dramatically increase its anti-tumor properties. This technology has been developed by the viral genomics and vaccination unit of Institut Pasteur in Paris.
