FivePrime aims to be the leader in protein therapeutics. The keys to achieving this goal are:
A Premier Discovery Platform: Our comprehensive, efficient platform is broadly applicable to any disease addressable with protein and antibody therapeutics. Rigorous Focus on Clinical Utility: We design our screening assays around carefully defined target product profiles to ensure that the proteins we discover will be medically relevant and commercially attractive. Accelerated Discovery and Development: We bias our discovery towards indications that have streamlined development paths. Before embarking on screen development, we assess the indication for availability/predictability of animal models, feasibility of clinical trials and measurable endpoints. Rapid in vivo validation and streamlined process development are critical to meeting our goal of 30 months from idea to IND. Exceptional Team: FivePrime continues to attract creative, entrepreneurial employees with a passion for science. Our team has expertise in all aspects of biologics discovery and development and is actively supported by world-class business and scientific advisors. Partnering for Success: We strive to fully exploit our unique discovery platform by engaging corporate and academic partners with deep biology expertise or development infrastructure in joint discovery and development collaborations. |
