Overview
BioWa, Inc., a New Jersey-based biotech company, was incorporated in Delaware in 2003. BioWa is committed to improving health through advancements in life science and technology. This dedication to human health has given impetus to the discovery and development of a technology that has the potential to improve the effectiveness of antibody-based treatments across many therapeutic categories.
BioWa is the exclusive worldwide licensor of Potelligent® Technology, a proprietary technology that creates 100% fucose-free monoclonal antibodies – antibodies that demonstrate a marked increase in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). A critical function of the immune system, ADCC enhances the ability of antibodies to kill tumor cells. With BioWa’s technology, enhancement of monoclonal antibody (Mab) potency has been shown to increase up to 100 fold both in vitro and in vivo.
That’s part of the reason BioWa’s inaugural technology is called Potelligent®. The technology applies an “intelligent” approach to creating a more “potent” antibody. The rest of the reason was born out of the relationships BioWa has developed with its partners and clients. An intelligent approach goes a long way toward creating and maintaining successful alliances.
In July 2007, BioWa introduced its second technology called Complegent®, a proprietary, robust technology to enhance complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) of therapeutic antibodies. Complegent® Technology may be used with Potelligent® Technology, providing AccretaMab® platform, a new class of antibodies to fight cancers and other life-threatening diseases.
As the exclusive worldwide licensor of Potelligent® and Complegent® Technologies, BioWa is committed to providing breakthrough treatments for human health through licensing the technologies to biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
