Dear *|FNAME|* *|LNAME|*,

April showers bring May flowers!  With this in mind, we would like to announce that we have moved from 1st May. You will now find us at Im Neuenheimer Feld 584, 69120 Heidelberg, and look forward to welcome you in our new premises.

BioRN was present at the Council of European BioRegions - CEBR Annual Meeting on 14-15th May in Paris. We enjoyed the valuable discussions and networking opportunities and among others discussed options for more cascade funding to directly promote innovation in our region.

We are committed to regular engagement with our members and players in the Life Science ecosystem. Accordingly, BioRN was also present at the Swiss Biotech Days to gain insights into the current trends and technological developments in the biotechnology industry.

Looking forward to have the DBT 2025 in Heidelberg! A perfect opportunity to bring the Rhine-Neckar Life Science region even closer to an audience from 29 countries! Contact us, if you want to know how you can support the DBT 2025 and be visible.

Panasome GmbH - A new path to immunity. Panosome uses its novel, proprietary technology platform to generate antibodies to challenging disease targets. The VAST technology platform unlocks antibodies to small molecules, peptides, and proteins and the high on-target specificity of Panosome's antibodies limits side effects.

They focus their development pipeline on cancer indications with a very high medical need. For this, Panasome generates monoclonal antibodies against tumor-specific carbohydrates (such as MUC1) to target pancreatic cancer that expresses aberrantly glycosylated MUC-1 and a T cell receptor-like antibodies to target intracellular cancer antigens displayed on antigenic presenting cells.

Panasome applies this concept to specifically target a mutation connected to the rare disease midline glioma, an aggressive brain cancer that predominantly affects children.
