For Agenus Bio , research and development is a never-ending process . Always aiming to improve the lives of as many patients as possible , the company is currently testing its latest drug on a variety of different cancers : “ We are currently in the second phase of our clinical trials , and the results so far are giving multiple indications that they could be used to successfully treat a variety of colorectal cancers . However , this drug is also being applied to pancreatic , melanomas , and other notoriously hard to treat cancers . We want our therapies to be as widely applicable as
possible , so that we can provide a benefit to patients with some of the most difficult diagnoses imaginable ,” Alfred affirms .
Known for its ability to produce diverse antibody solutions that tackle even the hardest to treat cancers , the company has recently invested in its all-new Californian facility that uses cutting-edge technology to take its research even further : “ Commercialization is the key next step in making our therapies more widely available . With our new facility in California , we ’ re able to accelerate these efforts . It ’ s a brand-new , industry leading , end-to-end commercial unit , complete with a fully integrated CGMP facility for the development and manufacturing of biologics . From this facility , we ’ re able to manufacture our therapies in greater quantities , with higher levels of efficiency . The space itself is an impressive 83,000 sq ft , and every inch is used as strategically as possible .
