Connect Biopharma (CNTB) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Connect Biopharma Ltd. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of monoclonal antibody and small-molecule therapies for immune-mediated diseases. Since its inception, the company has pursued a precision immunology approach, applying advanced screening and antibody engineering technologies to identify targets implicated in inflammatory pathways. Connect Biopharma’s research platform is designed to accelerate the transition of promising candidates from laboratory to clinical testing.

Both candidates leverage proprietary binding and pharmacokinetic optimization to achieve sustained target engagement while minimizing off-target effects. These pipelines are supported by a robust preclinical portfolio aimed at additional cytokine and chemokine targets.
