Die LMU Ausgründung Eisbach Bio GmbH wurde vom Handelsblatt als eine der Top 5 vielversprechenden Biotechunternehmen in Deutschland erwähnt. Sie wurden von führenden Wagniskapitalgebern besonders häufig genannt, wenn es um vielversprechende Projekte in frühen Forschungsphasen geht.
Die LMU Ausgründung Eisbach Bio GmbH hat einen Texas Therapeutics Company Award vom Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) erhalten. Dieser Zuschuss wird die klinische Entwicklung von EIS-12656 unterstützen, das auf anspruchsvolle Krebsarten mit homologen Rekombinationsdefekten (HRD) abzielt. Zuvor hatte die Eisbach Bio GmbH sich bereits im Juni 2024 4,5 Mio $ Fördermittel gesichert.
Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize for their discovery of the first microRNA, lin-4, in C. elegans.
This is the second consecutive Nobel Prize for nucleic acids, following the 2023 Nobel Prize for Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissmann for their work on
mRNA technology. The development of nucleic acid-based therapeutics is the goal of the Cluster for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Munich (CNATM).
In CNATM leading academic groups and 14 biotech companies are working together to achieve this goal. Several CNATM partners are focusing on microRNA-based therapeutics (rnatics GmbH, Secarna Pharmaceuticals GmbH, Engelhardt Group at the Institut for Pharmacology and Toxikology at TUM, Yildirim Group at the Helmholtz München).
Prof. Irmela Jeremias is a pediatrician at the Hauner Children’s Hospital of LMU and a scientist at Helmholtz München. For her research on new targets to fight leukemia, she received a Reinhart Koselleck grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG). This grant supports highly innovative and promising projects. Her project aims to „Identify new targeted cancer therapies using in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 dropout screens in PDX models“.
The European Research Council has awarded the LMU chemist a grant for the preclinical development of a new drug for treating leukemia in high-risk patients.
