Panosome GmbH

🌟 Panosome GmbH: Redefining Antibody Development 🌟 Founded by Prof. Nina Papavasiliou, Erec Stebbins, and Joey Verdi, Panosome is pioneering advancements in antibody development. Their proprietary VAST platform utilizes the unique surface of the African trypanosome to generate high-affinity antibodies against challenging targets, including small molecules, peptides, and proteins traditionally considered "undruggable." 🔬 What sets Panosome apart? The VAST platform opens new frontiers in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Panosome is advancing projects targeting tumor-specific carbohydrates, such as MUC1, and intracellular cancer antigens involved in aggressive diseases like midline glioma. Based in Heidelberg, Germany, Panosome collaborates with leading pharmaceutical companies as well as several research groups within the DKFZ German Cancer Research Center to drive innovative solutions and pioneer breakthroughs in oncology and beyond. Guided by the expertise of advisory board members Dr. Rainer Wessel, Chief officer of Innovation Management at DKFZ German Cancer Research Center, and Tony Argyrides, a seasoned Wall Street analyst specializing in biotech fundraising, Panosome is poised to achieve its mission. 🎯 Their mission: To make the untargetable targetable. Under the visionary leadership of its founders and the insights of its advisory board, Panosome relentlessly advances the frontier of antibody generation, reshaping the future of healthcare innovation. #Biotech #Innovation #Immunotherapy #AntibodyResearch #HealthcareTransformation

🚀 Panosome GmbH Awarded 2nd Research Grant of 1.8 Million Euros! 🚀 We are excited to share that Panosome GmbH, in collaboration with our partner the DKFZ German Cancer Research Center, has been awarded a substantial grant to advance our innovative brain cancer therapeutic. This significant funding of more than 2.7 M Euros by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF) includes a direct allocation of 1.8 M Euros to Panosome. The new GliomAb grant marks our second major public funding achievement this year, following the CarboVAST grant for pancreatic cancer therapy awarded in May. Combined, these grants inject over 3.3 million Euros directly into Panosome, empowering us to accelerate the development of transformative cancer treatments that address critical medical needs. Together with our dedicated team and partners, we're forging a path towards a brighter future in cancer therapy. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our mission to innovate and improve patient outcomes. #Braincancertherapy #Innovation #ScientificExcellence #PanosomeGmbH #Biotech #DKFZ

The basis for this is the VAST technology platform jointly developed by Panosome and DKFZ. Panosome now wants to use the VAST technology to develop antibodies for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research is supporting this project with a total of 1.99 million euros as part of its "KMU-innovativ: Biomedicine" funding measure. Panosome will receive funding totaling 1.55 million euros and the DKFZ 446 thousand euros.

📣 Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment: Panosome GmbH Receives Major Funding from BMBF for Antibody Therapy Development! 🚀 The Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany (BMBF) is funding the DKFZ German Cancer Research Center spin-off Panosome GmbH with nearly two million euros for the development of an antibody therapy against pancreatic cancer. 🔬 Founded in 2020 in #Heidelberg, Panosome GmbH specializes in monoclonal #antibodies using the advanced #VAST technology platform. With this #funding, they will focus on targeting MUC-1, a marker in 90% of malignant pancreatic tumors. This initiative, under the "KMU-innovativ: Biomedizin" program, will provide 1.55 million euros to Panosome and 446 thousand euros to DKFZ. 🙌 Dr. Jens Brandenburg highlights the rapid evolution in medical biotechnology and its potential in treating pancreatic cancer, a disease often diagnosed too late. "Supporting SMEs in biotechnology is crucial for advancing drug development and quickly translating research into patient care," he said. Prof. Dr. Nina Papavasiliou, our Managing Director, says, "The BMBF funding is a milestone for Panosome, enabling us to leverage our technology for cancer patients' benefit." 🌟 This project, CarboVAST, showcases the promising collaboration between research and application. The VAST technology aims to develop effective antibodies against not just pancreatic cancer but potentially other cancers like breast, ovarian, and lung cancer. 🎉 Congratulations to Panosome GmbH and their team! #Biotech #Innovation #Healthcare #DKFZ #Panosome #BMBF #HeidelbergFundingAlert

𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌🌍 ⭐ Happy to welcome Panasome! Panosome GmbH uses its novel, proprietary technology platform to generate antibodies to challenging disease targets. The VAST technology platform unlocks antibodies to small molecules, peptides, and proteins and the high on-target specificity of Panosome's antibodies limits side effects. They focus their development pipeline on cancer indications with a very high medical need. For this, Panasome generates monoclonal antibodies against tumor-specific carbohydrates (such as MUC1) to target pancreatic cancer that expresses aberrantly glycosylated MUC-1 and a T cell receptor-like antibodies to target intracellular cancer antigens displayed on antigenic presenting cells. Panasome applies this concept to specifically target a mutation connected to the rare disease midline glioma, an aggressive brain cancer that predominantly affects children. If you want to learn more about Panasome´s new path to immunity, contact Dr. Sebastian Kruse and Nina Papavasiliou We are looking forward to see your active participation in the network!

Happy to have Katharina represent Panosome at #CIMT2024 last week! It was an overall amazing conference and we’re looking forward to the next one! 🔬
