About Us

Crescendo Biologics is focused on novel immune cell enhancing therapeutics in immuno-oncology

Crescendo Biologics’ novel, targeted immune cell enhancing therapeutics are underpinned by its novel, patent-protected Humabody® VH platform, which is clinically validated in oncology and immunology.

Some of the key Humabody VH platform benefits include:

  • Rapid discovery process
  • Fully human VH domains (Humabodies) – no humanisation step is required
  • Exceptional diversity and excellent hit rates
  • Small size with ability to reach epitopes that monoclonal antibodies cannot
  • Clearly differentiated tissue accumulation and tissue penetration compared to conventional monoclonal antibodies
  • Robust chemical and physical stability
  • Easily assembled into multi-specific formats (MultiBody®s), which can be formatted to access novel biology
  • Tuneable half-life
  • Multiple administration routes
  • Excellent expression yields and established manufacturing processes

Beyond Crescendo’s proprietary pipeline, the Company has global, multi-target discovery and development collaborations with both Takeda and BioNTech and an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement with Zai Lab.

Crescendo Biologics is backed by blue-chip investors including Sofinnova Partners, Andera Partners, IP Group, BioNTech, Takeda and Quan Capital.
