With a strong commitment to supporting cutting-edge science that can bring value to patients, Astellas is proud to sponsor the Astellas Future Innovator Prize in partnership with prominent laboratory incubator spaces that are designed as launchpads for high-potential biotech startups.
AXONIS Therapeutics were honored to be chosen as winner of Astellas Pharma Golden Ticket competition, which was an important validation of our therapeutic programs at that time. Since then we have tremendously benefitted from insightful discussions with the Astellas Pharma team and venture arm who kindly devoted their time to review our milestones/data and provided clear feedback on our plans. Access to LabCentral has equipped us with the perfect platform to establish our in vitro assays, and to continue to participate in this thriving biotech ecosystem.
Dr. Joanna Stanicka, CEO of AXONIS Therapeutics.
