11 September 2018

Shanghai-based WuXi Biologics (HK: 2269) has inked a deal with Inhibrx, a Californian startup which is developing a pipeline of novel protein-based therapeutics.

Inhibrx will exclusively use WuXi Biologics for GMP manufacturing of its human biologic therapeutics for all projects initiated within the next three years for which Inhibrx plans to first initiate clinical trials outside of China.
