The agreement marks the launch of a new business segment for CCAB and allows MédiMabs to expand its portfolio to include human synthetic antibodies.

“CCAB is enthusiastic to be working with MédiMabs and benefit from its experience in antibody distribution,” Robert Verhagen, CEO of CCAB said. “This collaboration will not only help both organizations expand their businesses, it will benefit the research community by offering a unique set of reagent antibodies that is currently limited in the market.”
