Projectdetails

Introduction

We plan to carry out a valorisation project for a series of novel small molecule inhibitors of Factor Inhibiting HIF (FIH) that we have developed for the treatment of lung cancer, as a next-generation therapeutic approach in the field of immuno-oncology.

Valorisation Plan

The valorisation plan will include:

  • Clarification of IP rights and strategy
  • Establishing contacts with potential investors and pharma partners
  • Verification of the potential for start-up creation

Lead Optimisation Campaign

Moreover, valorisation activities will include progression of hits against FIH into a lead optimisation campaign with the aim of designating a candidate drug.
