"Fusion’s versatile platform, supported by our internal research capabilities, allows us to create targeted alpha therapies (TATs) using different classes of targeting molecules, tailoring the approach based upon the disease target," said Fusion Chief Executive Officer John Valliant, Ph.D. "With our antibody, bispecific, and small molecule programs in the clinic or progressing through investigational new drug-enabling studies, we are excited to announce our work with peptides. Partnering with a global leader in peptide discovery further diversifies our capabilities and assets needed to create differentiated TATs in multiple areas of high unmet medical need."
