The School of Chemistry and Avidity LLC of Aurora, Colorado, USA have recently completed a licence deal to work together to commercialise a novel biological tagging tool arising from research carried out by Prof. Neil Thomas and his team. They have produced novel biotin derivatives for protein labelling and detection technologies. These compounds will be used in conjunction with Avidity’s AviTag™ technology which is already licensed to many of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. This allows for any protein to be attached to almost any surface or label and has a myriad of medical and industrial applications. We expect Prof. Thomas’s compounds to contribute much towards this high profile work. Moving forward with Avidity is very exciting for us and we anticipate that the licence and resulting collaboration will advance these technologies well into the future.
