Event Summary

VERAXA Biotech AG AG (Nasdaq: VRXA) announced a collaboration with Ardigen S.A., an AI-driven computational biology company, to support the development of VERAXA's BiTAC pipeline of T cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates. The partnership will focus on developing AI-enabled tools to identify and prioritize synergistic dual-target combinations for VERAXA's BiTAC platform, which uses Boolean "AND-gate" logic to require co-expression of two distinct targets on cancer cells for activation, potentially reducing off-target toxicity. VERAXA aims to leverage AI to analyze large preclinical and clinical datasets, including programs that failed due to toxicity, to improve target selection and drug development success rates. The collaboration is based in Zurich, Switzerland and Krakow, Poland.
