Tacalyx was founded in 2019 as a spin-out of the Max-Planck-Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) in Potsdam, Germany, with the help of Prof. Dr. Peter Seeberger and Dr. Oren Moscovitz.
We strive to develop novel anticancer therapeutics targeting Tumor Associated Carbohydrate Antigens (TACAs).
TACAs are attractive targets for novel immunotherapeutics against human cancers. Many TACAs are expressed during embryonic development but not under physiologic conditions in differentiated tissues. On tumors, in contrast, TACAs show very high expression levels, allowing to bring more therapeutic agents to the cancer cell.
Our pipeline comprises several first-in-class assets targeting different TACAs across multiple solid human cancers.
Assets in our pipeline are amenable to various treatment modalities, including antibody-drug conjugates, T cell engagers and others.
We are a growing team of highly motivated scientists. We endorse the biotech spirit of problem solving and let the best idea win. Being innovative and focused is key to have fast decisions and optimized solutions for our early pipeline.
Located in one of Berlin's prestigious science hubs, we offer a vibrant research environment at the forefront of antibody drug development.
