Dyax Corp. and the Australian national scientific research agency, CSIRO, have announced a collaborative partnership to discover and develop antibodies for treating cancer. Dyax will provide the antibody libraries and screen for potential clinical leads, while CSIRO will test the leads and work on developing the leads into clinically useful therapeutics. According to its website, Dyax's mission is to generate biotherapeutics, particularly in the area of immunology and oncology. In addition, Dyax has entered over 70 revenue-generating collaborative and licensing arrangements involving discovery, affinity separation, diagnostic imaging, and research reagents.
