NImmune will benefit from BioTherapeutics’ animal models, including pig models for inflammatory bowel disease, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics analysis capabilities and specialised regulatory infrastructure for product testing.

The deal will also aid in mechanism of action validation studies and the development of both animal and computational models of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

BioTherapeutics chief scientific officer Dr Raquel Hontecillas stated: “We are excited to collaborate across teams in support of the development of much-needed therapeutics by providing our highly sophisticated computational and preclinical services, including our proprietary efficacy animal models of autoimmune and inflammatory disease.

The partnership with BioTherapeutics adds to NImmune’s existing research and development (R&D) collaboration with the NIMML Institute.

Together, they will form a scientific innovation ecosystem that enables transdisciplinary teams to collaborate from discovery through various development phases.

This ecosystem has already yielded significant clinical and commercial success, as evidenced by the development of NX-13 and its subsequent acquisition by AbbVie.

NImmune founder and CEO Dr Josep Bassaganya-Riera stated: “The collaboration with BioTherapeutics is a crucial extension of NImmune’s innovative R&D ecosystem that is enabling our team to create safer and more effective immunoregulatory therapeutics that address the unmet clinical needs of patients with inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

“Through NImmune’s strategic partnerships with both the NIMML Institute and BioTherapeutics, we have created a best-in-class scientific ecosystem capable of accelerating the pipeline — from AI-enabled target discovery and validation using the TITAN-X platform to preclinical animal modelling to clinical testing and ultimately commercialisation.”
