Polymer Factory collaborate with University of Massachusetts Amherst

Polymer Factory Sweden AB (publ) has signed a material transfer agreement with the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) for transfer of materials from its BowtieD® platform.

Polymer Factory has signed a material transfer agreement with UMass for research incorporating products from Polymer Factory’s BowtieD® platform. The research focus is within oncology and immunotherapy.

CTO Michael Malkoch comments:

“With this agreement secured, renowned researchers from UMass will now have the opportunity to explore Polymer Factory’s dendrimer nanocarrier platform as the most sophisticated dendritic probes on the market, with emphasis on identifying novel design of therapies for patients with troublesome diseases including cancer, diabetes and other immunocompromised conditions.”

Polymer Factory will supply material to UMass to conduct the research. The agreement can potentially lead to new intellectual property for the Company and/or a future supplier role.
