AbCellera, Everest Medicines Team Up To Develop 10 Therapeutic Antibodies

AbCellera Biologics Inc ABCL and Everest Medicines Limited have entered into a multi-year collaboration and license agreement to discover therapeutic antibodies for up to 10 targets selected by Everest.

Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will have the rights to develop and commercialize antibodies.
AbCellera will receive research payments and is eligible to receive from Everest downstream clinical and commercial milestone payments and royalties on net sales of products.
