With currently more than 100 distinct drugs in research and development, MorphoSys has one of the broadest pipelines in the biotechnology industry, including unique approaches that aim to help patients with conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, infectious diseases, cardiovascular dysfunction and inflammation.

More than 20 therapeutic antibodies are being evaluated by MorphoSys and its partners in clinical trials as potentially novel treatment options for severe and in many cases life-threatening diseases. Several of these in-house and partnered programs have already demonstrated initial potential for diseases where currently no proper treatment is available.
MorphoSys continues to expand its portfolio of unique drug candidates and is looking for partners with innovative targets, supportive technologies and promising antibodies for further development.
