CureVac to acquire Frame Cancer Therapeutics for $33m.

CureVac, a biopharmaceutical company, agreed to acquire Frame Cancer Therapeutics, a developer of immunotherapy against cancer, for $33m. “The addition of Frame’s technology and talent to CureVac’s oncology research complements our ability to identify and validate promising neoantigens for our mRNA cancer vaccine programs. The bioinformatics platform developed by Frame’s researchers has the potential to identify a broad panel of neoantigens that go beyond conventional neoantigens and could strongly increase the likelihood of developing highly effective cancer vaccines. We are excited to join forces with the innovative Frame Cancer Therapeutics team and combine their bioinformatics capabilities with our own mRNA expertise to potentially deliver a new class of cancer vaccines," Franz-Werner Haas, CureVac CEO.
