Specialized biologic modalities

Specialized modalities, made manufacturable.

NovaMab takes next-generation antibodies and conjugates from concept to GMP — with the contained, high-potency facilities and the specialised analytics that complex modalities demand. Antibody-drug conjugates, engineered formats and adjacent modalities, built to scale with a confident regulatory story.

The challenge

Scaling emerging science into compliant manufacturing

Complex modalities rarely fail on the biology — they stall on the path to the clinic. Conjugates and engineered formats demand contained handling of cytotoxic payloads, analytics that can resolve drug-to-antibody ratio and free drug, and a CMC narrative regulators trust. We exist to turn promising specialized science into a process that can be made, characterised and supplied to GMP.

Modalities we build

The right platform for each modality

01 Develop

Feasibility & design

Confirm the modality can be made and characterised.

02 Engineer

Chemistry & format

Conjugation route and engineered format, in step.

03 Scale

Process & analytics

Scalable process with a defined analytical package.

04 GMP

Contained supply

Contained GMP drug substance and clinical supply.

Antibody-drug conjugates

Site-specific and stochastic conjugation, linker-payload selection and DAR control to deliver homogeneous, well-characterised conjugates for cytotoxic and high-potency programmes.

Site-specific DAR control End-to-end

Engineered antibody formats

Bispecifics, fragments and Fc-engineering — format engineering and process development for next-generation, non-standard formats built for manufacturability.

Why NovaMab

Purpose-built for complex modalities, not generic biologics.

Modality specialists

Conjugation chemistry, engineered antibody formats and adjacent modalities are our core — not a sideline. The scientists who scope your programme have built these molecules before.

Contained high-potency capability

Cytotoxic payloads and potent intermediates are handled to high containment (OEB) standards, protecting operators and product while keeping conjugation chemistry under control.

Regulatory confidence

Every process is built with a credible CMC and regulatory story — analytics, comparability and control strategy designed so emerging science survives the journey to GMP.
