Strategic alliance validates TCR technology

Medigene has announced an alliance with bluebird bio, a prominent T-cell immunology company. It is Medigene’s first commercial partnering agreement based on its proprietary T-cell receptor (TCR) technology platform. The collaboration will seek to identify four TCR therapeutic candidates against four targets. This is a positive development as it validates Medigene’s TCR technology and makes use of technological synergies to develop new immuno-oncology products, which could prove beneficial. Importantly, it does this while retaining all rights for its proprietary TCR development programme and TCR library. We have increased our valuation to €233m (vs €219m), as we have rolled the model forward to an estimated Q3 position and included the upfront payment.
