Pioneering an Innovative Approach for the Development of First-in-Class Cancer Therapies

Oxford BioTherapeutics is a clinical-stage oncology company, developing first-in-class antibody-based therapies to improve patient outcomes. Our proprietary, proteomic target discovery platform, OGAP®-Verify, specialises in identifying novel membrane-based protein targets.

This platform supports the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-Ts), immuno-oncology antibodies (IOs), radiopharmaceutical and bispecific therapeutic modalities. We continuously enhance our OGAP®-Verify database to accurately represent patient tumours and the tumour microenvironment. Our fully integrated discovery and development capabilities span from target identification to IND-enabling studies.
