AgomAb Therapeutics
AgomAb Therapeutics was spun out of argenx, Ghent's globally recognized antibody platform company. AgomAb focuses on fibrosis, a condition where scar tissue builds up in organs and progressively impairs their function. There are limited treatment options for fibrosis across its multiple organ manifestations, making it a high-value target for drug development.
The $100M Series C in 2023 is a significant raise that positions AgomAb to advance its pipeline through clinical stages. The argenx lineage provides both scientific credibility and a network of relationships with global pharma partners.
AgomAb is part of the Ghent life sciences cluster, which includes argenx and a growing number of biotech spin-offs benefiting from proximity to Ghent University research.
