Executive Summary
Raven Biotechnologies is focused on the rapid discovery of functionally validated cell-surface targets, and the development of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) or other therapeutics to regulate them. The company's cell-based approach is built on a technology platform consisting of three proprietary components: cell lines licensed to or generated by Raven; a method of raising antibodies specific to cell-surface proteins; and genomics/proteomics approaches to identifying those proteins and mapping the cell's surface. Raven is currently working on producing MAbs for treating cancer.
