Fusion Antibodies PLC - Belfast-based contract researcher that provides discovery, design and optimisation services for therapeutic antibodies to the healthcare market - Expects revenue of around £1.2 million for the six months to September 30, more than doubling from £541,000 at the same time last year.

Fusion Antibodies expands its collaboration agreement with the National Cancer Institute in the six-month period to include the company’s humanisation of the NCI’s existing camelid nanobodies, and secures a new contract for an antibody based therapeutic with an unnamed US-based biotechnology company. It is also contracted to develop a bespoke OptiPhage library for an unnamed client. The company remains on track with its strategic goals.
