Philogen signs a bunch of collaboration deals

24 January 2019

Italy-based Philogen, a privately-owned biotechnology company, yesterday announced three new partnering deals.

The companies are US biotech major Celgene (Nasdaq: CELG), Johnson & Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) pharma unit Janssen and Switzerland’s Novartis (NOVN: VX). Philogen disclosed no financial terms for the deals, and provided only sketchy details of their focus.

However, Philogen did say that collaboration and licensing agreements with Celgene and Novartis will both focus on the discovery and development of a new class of immunomodulatory therapeutics, while, the partnership with Janssen will seek to discover new small molecule-based therapeutics using novel lead-generation technologies developed by Philogen's Philochem subsidiary. The latter collaboration was facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation.
