[Nucleic Acid Therapeutics] Tech Scouting – Partner with Celltrion to Advance Nucleic Acid Therapeutics in Oncology and Metabolic Disease

  • At a glanceCelltrion is seeking transformative innovations in nucleic acid therapeutics (NATs) to address critical unmet needs in oncology and metabolic diseases. We are particularly interested in siRNA, antisense oligonucleotides, and mRNA platforms designed to either inhibit or stimulate specific protein expression. Technologies that demonstrate improved efficacy, extended half-life, and optimized delivery are highly encouraged. This initiative is open to global innovators with strong in vivo validation and is aimed at building strategic R&D collaborations with high synergy potential, including co-development, investment, licensing, and commercialization opportunities.

Tech Scouting Requirements

We are looking for NAT platforms in the following categories:

Disease Focus Areas

  • Oncology

  • Metabolic Diseases

(Both areas share the same technology interests.)

Technology Interests

  • siRNA (Small Interfering RNA): Gene-silencing platforms targeting disease-driving genes with high specificity and efficiency.

  • Antisense Oligonucleotides (ASOs): Precision modulators of gene expression with improved chemical stability and delivery potential.

  • mRNA Therapeutics: Platforms that either suppress or indue protein expression for therapeutic effect, with innovations in delivery, translation efficiency, and immune tolerability.

Required Stage:

  • In vivo efficacy data required.

  • Preferred: Supporting non-GLP or GLP toxicity data.

 

Problem Statement

Nucleic acid therapeutics have emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine, yet challenges remain in delivery, durability, and off-target effects. Celltrion is seeking NAT platforms with optimized design and delivery characteristics that can overcome these hurdles in oncology and metabolic indications, with an emphasis on strong in vivo validation and clinical translation potential.

 

Why Apply?

This is a compelling opportunity to collaborate with Celltrion, a biopharmaceutical leader who developed the first biosimilar with deep expertise in drug development and biologics manufacturing. Celltrion is open to worldwide partnerships beyond the APAC region, offering selected innovators access to co-development, investment, licensing, and commercialization opportunities. Join us in shaping the next wave of nucleic acid based platforms that can transform lives and redefine care standards.
