About us

Apollo Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company rapidly advancing a robust pipeline of potentially transformative therapeutic programs based on breakthrough discoveries. Through deep relationships with world-leading universities and scientists, the company identifies programs with strong biological hypotheses and potential to become meaningful new treatment options. Apollo’s portfolio-based model combines a centralized team of drug development ‘architects’ and subject matter experts who are able to rigorously evaluate therapeutic programs in an objective, data-driven manner – prioritizing critical experiments to de-risk programs early. This capital efficiency allows Apollo to focus on scaling a robust and potentially transformative pipeline, with over 15 therapeutic programs in development today across oncology, major inflammatory disorders and rare disease. Apollo’s innovative model was created in late 2015 by three world-leading universities Cambridge, Imperial College London and University College London in partnership with AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson & Johnson Innovation. There is significant opportunity ahead of us to bring new treatments to market as our lead programs move into clinical development. We will look to build on our existing collaborations, foster new relationships with additional top academics around the world and in-license drug candidates from new partners. Apollo is funded by Patient Square Capital, Rock Springs Capital, Reimagined Ventures and UCL Technology Fund. We are expanding our operations in Cambridge, UK and Boston, USA.

    We’re delighted to announce that Apollo Therapeutics has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for a clinical-stage FGF21 / GLP-1 dual receptor agonist bispecific fusion protein from Sunshine Lake Pharma.   Under the terms of the agreement, Apollo has been granted global (ex-China) development, manufacturing, and commercialization rights for APL-18881 for all current and future therapeutic indications, with Sunshine Lake retaining rights to the asset in China.   This transaction further delivers on our strategy to develop a large and diversified portfolio of novel therapeutic programs in areas of high unmet medical need, all with major commercial potential in large markets. APL-18881 brings our number of programs in clinical development to five.    To learn more, visit our website here: https://lnkd.in/eZjYZ5ku   #biotech #drugdevelopment

    From the city of dreaming spires to a tower of cash raised from its efforts, the technology transfer arm of the University of Oxford University today lifts the hood on the engine driving the local economy. Oxford University Innovation (OUI), raised around £900 million, filed scores of new patents and created more than 15 new companies in the year to July 2024. The figures are revealed in its 2024 report Shaping the Future: Oxford’s Innovation Impact. According to OUI’s preliminary output metrics, between August 2023 and July 2024 it raised £19.5m in seed funding and £872m in investment for companies, created 15 new companies (including 10 spinouts, two social ventures and three startups), filed 93 new patents, and struck 1,239 licensing deals spanning multi-sectors from HealthTech to clean energy. The report was unveiled at an Oxford Innovation Society (OIS) event for academic founders and leaders, venture capital investors and industry and ecosystem partners. Listing some of the achievements of the last 12 months, OUI’s new CEO, Dr Mairi Gibbs, welcomed the “launch of many potentially world-class companies”, including MatchBio, an Oxford University spinout that launched in January 2024 with a £4.5m investment to pioneer advancements in immunotherapy to fight cancer. She added that “OUI has been instrumental in securing agreements that extend the reach of our research”, pointing to a new licensing agreement between Oxford University and Cambridge biopharma company Apollo Therapeutics to accelerate the commercialisation of Oxford’s biomedical research by developing new therapies at pace. Dr Gibbs also cited technology developed by Onfido. Co-founders Eamon Jubbawy, Ruhul Amin and Husayn Kassai – former students at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford – launched the company in 2012 through OUI’s Startup Incubator. Over the past year, Onfido has helped prevent $3.9 billion in fraud losses for its global client base. It was acquired in April by global security company Entrust, marking the highest-value return to date on an Oxford University, student-led startup supported by OUI’s Incubator. The past 12 months have also seen the first deliveries of Oxford’s R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine in Africa, following a licensing deal OUI negotiated with the Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. OUI’s executive chair Baroness Nicola Blackwood said: “Over the past year, Oxford University Innovation has continued to play a pivotal role in transforming groundbreaking research into tangible economic and societal benefits, strengthening our position as a global leader in innovation.” https://lnkd.in/ekcQ49Jd
