About Project Integrum
Project Integrum is a large-scale antibody drug development project for 1000+ potential drug targets using RenMiceTM (RenMabTM, RenLite® and RenNano®) target knockout mice. Different from the traditional mechanism of action (MOA)-based drug development strategy, Project Integrum uses large-scale in vivo drug efficacy screening methods to discover innovative drugs with excellent safety and efficacy. So far, we have completed making RenMiceTM KO for 1000+ targets. In addition, we have developed a large variety of preclinical antibody assets including 10 fully human bispecific antibodies, 20+ bispecific ADCs, 10+ TCR-mimic antibodies, 30+ monoclonal antibodies against novel targets, and 600+ antibody hits. Antibody molecules generated by Project Integrum have high specificity, high affinity and good druggability, which have attracted many top biopharmaceutical companies to obtain a license or reach a drug co-development agreement with us, including Merck KGaA, ADC Therapeutics, Remgen, NJCTTQ, etc.
