Project selection
Biotica selects projects that maximise the value of programmes while ensuring a relatively low development risk.
Biotica uses three key criteria to select lead compounds for optimisation projects from among the 5-10,000 known polyketides:
- Clinical validation of the target and/or polyketide starting point in the indication in which Biotica intends to develop its polyketide therapeutics. More…
- Exclusivity in the field for Biotica based on a combination of IP and Biotica’s unique approach. More…
- Blockbuster potential for the polyketide therapeutics in the chosen indication. More…
Together, these criteria ensure that Biotica invests in projects that have a high probability of both commercial and technical success and that are attractive to potential partners at a relatively early stage in development.
Initial exploratory phase
Before nominating a project, Biotica undertakes an exploratory phase to ensure the project is clinically and commercially valuable. More…
