angioClast is a UK and Ireland-based biotech startup company led by a group of young professionals from the University of Cambridge. We are developing products targeting Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most aggressive and incurable brain cancer, from both diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives.
angioClast’s business model is to license out a patent from the National Institute of Health through the NIH start-up exclusive licensing agreement, and harness the value of newly identified biomarkers of cancer-associated blood vessels. Antibodies against these markers form the basis for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that will deliver and release drugs against glioblastoma in a highly specific manner. Detection of glioblastoma will be made possible through further formulation of the antibodies into an ELISA-based diagnostic toolkit that is more accurate and less invasive than conventional clinical practices.
Through innovative products for early detection and targeted therapy, angioClast’s vision is to make Glioblastoma Multiforme a more treatable disease.
