Harbour BioMed (HKEX: 02142) is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel antibody therapeutics focusing on oncology and immunology. The Company is building its robust portfolio and differentiated pipeline through internal R&D capability, collaborations with co-discovery and co-development partners and select acquisitions.
The Company’s proprietary antibody technology platforms Harbour Mice® generate fully human monoclonal antibodies in two heavy and two light chain (H2L2) format, as well as heavy chain only (HCAb) format. Building upon the HCAb antibodies, the HCAb-based immune cell engagers (HBICE®) are capable of delivering tumor killing effects unachievable by traditional combination therapies. Integrating Harbour Mice® with single B cell cloning platform, our antibody discovery engine is highly unique and efficient for development of next generation therapeutic antibodies.

EpimAb Biotherapeutics, Inc., is a China-based, privately held, start-up company founded in 2015 that is developing a portfolio of novel bi-specific antibodies in oncology and immune-oncology. All bispecifics are based on a proprietary platform, FIT-Ig (Fabs in Tandem). Multiple FIT-Igs have already been successfully generated binding to small, large, soluble or membrane-bound antigens with biochemical and biophysical properties similar to their parent monospecific antibodies. The first molecule, EMB-01, is a cMET/EGFR-inhibitor, that is in CMC development in collaboration with WuXi Apptec. EpimAb also has concluded licensing arrangements, e.g. with Kymab and Innovent Biologics, and is open to further partnerships.
EpimAb has successfully concluded a Series A round of $25 MM with a consortium of international investors.

Harbour Antibodies BV was established in 2006 to use transgenic mouse technology developed in the laboratory of Professor Frank Grosveld at Erasmus MC (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) for engineering mice to produce high affinity human antibodies.
A fully owned subsidiary of Harbour BioMed, Harbour Antibodies owns two strains of transgenic mice for generating human therapeutic antibodies:
1) H2L2: Mice that generate antibodies comprised of two heavy chain and two light chains (H2L2) with fully human
variable regions.
2) HCAb: Mice that generate novel “heavy chain only” antibodies (HCAb). The HCAb mice enable the development
of antibody fragment-based therapeutics such as nanobodies, bi-specific antibodies and CAR-T with favorable
drug-like properties.

Jan 2010
We discover, launch and build great companies based on bold ideas that meet at the intersection of science, strategy, business and medicine – where transformational science meets operational reality – providing the best opportunity to make a dramatic difference in patients’ lives.
THE THIRD ROCK TEAM
Our team has a proven record of translating disruptive technologies into valuable business enterprises. Working closely with leading scientific and business visionaries as well as industry partners, we identify opportunities to change the future of medicine and rigorously vet those ideas through our discovery process to develop the vision, strategy and plan needed to succeed.
A FORMULA FOR INNOVATION
We only invest in the best of those ideas. We are actively involved in the early stages of our companies’ development, typically serving as members of the founding management teams, to build a strong foundation, put in place the right people and culture, and set the companies on a path to scientific and operational excellence.
We believe in the companies we launch and make big initial investments, often complemented by strategic alliances, to enable our companies to advance life-changing therapies, devices and diagnostics. By creating value for patients, we create value for our investors.
