An early-stage therapeutics company is developing novel T-cell-engaging bispecific antibodies that enable targeted stimulation of the immune system to kill tumor cells. The company has identified two validated targets with therapeutic potential and is seeking to determine the clinical unmet need and market opportunity for their products among a narrowed pool of indications. The objectives of this project are to 1) prioritize the top clinical applications for each of the bispecific antibody programs, 2) fully characterize the clinical opportunities and challenges for the company’s products. The team will construct slide decks summarizing their findings and providing recommendations to guide the client’s business strategy. Throughout the project, the team will interact directly with the company’s executives and Biotech Connection – Bay Area leadership.
