Case Study
Abceutics
Abceutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical startup spun out of UB, pioneered a novel drug class aimed at preventing the delivery of anticancer toxins to healthy cells. Through a collaboration with UB, the company developed payload-binding selectivity enhancer (PBSE) technology to enhance the safety of antibody-drug conjugates. These advancements in reducing the toxicity of cancer treatments, exemplified by Abceutics’ PBSE innovation, hold promise for delivering curative doses safely, potentially improving the survival rate for cancer patients. In 2024, Abceutics was acquired by Merck, a global biopharmaceutical leader.
Case Study
Copprium
Copprium, a materials manufacturing company, is developing electrically conductive copper-based inks that perform better and cost less than the silver inks that are used in printable, flexible electronics. Through an ongoing partnership with the University at Buffalo, Copprium has licensed UB technology to develop a low-cost, effective conductive copper ink that will pave the way for more accessible industrial and consumer applications of this technology.
