Simon Moroney, CEO of MorphoSys, said: “Our therapeutic antibody pipeline continues to expand and mature. By in-licensing Phase 1 antibody from Xencor, we took a step in the execution of our plan to build a portfolio of proprietary therapeutic antibodies to complement those being developed by our partners.

“Our cash-flow is enabling us to drive a proprietary research and development effort. We’re on track to achieving the goals we set ourselves at the beginning of the year, in both the therapeutic and AbD Serotec business segments.”
