The company intends to use the funds to advance its proprietary pipeline of uniquely assembled antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), towards clinical evaluation as well as introduce programs addressing a range of solid tumor indications.

Led by Dominik Schumacher, CEO, Tubulis generates matched protein-drug conjugates through the combination of novel proprietary technologies and disease-specific biologic insight. Its capability of creating a pipeline of antibody-drug conjugates is based on a diverse range of targeting molecules, novel payloads and proprietary conjugation technologies. They enable the discovery of innovative ADCs that can increase antibody conjugation options via novel chemical groups leading to stable, high drug-to-antibody ratios.

The company’s lead tumor-targeting assets are currently in preclinical development addressing several high unmet medical need indications. Tubulis’ pipeline also includes a program for hematological tumors, which is on the path towards IND-readiness.
