Its proprietary Empowered Cytokinesé are fusion proteins that combine the tumor selective targeting capabilities of engineered cytokines (Superkinesé) with potent pro-apoptotic (cell killing) payloads. Superkineé is a cytokine that has been engineered to bind with high affinity to a tumor specific cytokine receptor or receptor sub-type present on the surface of the target cell.
In Feb 2015, it has been awarded a product development grant of US$14.1 Mn from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRI) to develop novel targeted therapeutics for cancer.
