MorphoSys GmbH

MorphoSys AG, located in Martinsried/Munich, is one of the world's leading biotechnology companies focusing on fully human antibodies. With its unique technologies, MorphoSys is developing the next generation of antibodies, which can be used to treat diseases and for research and diagnostics purposes. Numerous partnerships have already been entered into with well-known companies from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, such as Boehringer Ingelheim, Daiichi Sankyo, Merck & Co, Novartis, Pfizer, and Roche.

The Company, founded in 1992, possesses the unique HuCAL technology (the Human Combinatorial Antibody Library). This library comprises several billion different, fully human antibodies. HuCAL is a very powerful technology, which allows rapid and automated production of high-affinity antibodies. The most important feature of the library is its capability of optimizing fully human antibodies to meet predefined specifications.

Presently, MorphoSys prosecutes its business in two operating segments. One segment, the Therapeutic Antibodies unit, develops drug candidates for commercial partners as well as MorphoSys's own proprietary product pipeline. In this regard, the Company has been successful in establishing a number of partnerships with renowned biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and also generated several proprietary therapeutic antibody candidates for out-licensing to partners. MorphoSys's second operating segment, the Research Antibodies unit, delivers high-quality antibodies to the research market, under the brand AbD Serotec. Two successful acquisitions of U.S. and U.K.-based antibody suppliers have significantly strengthened and broadened MorphoSys’s position in the research antibody market. The resulting combined activities of MorphoSys’s AbD unit serve all segments of the research and diagnostics markets.
