The Business Development & Strategy Team at Fred Hutch has a stellar track record of finding partners who share our drive to innovate, collaborate and accelerate the development of high-impact technologies and therapies. The result has been dozens of licensing agreements, strategic partnerships, spinouts and startups, including such high-profile launches as Juno Therapeutics, Adaptive Biotechnologies, Nohla Therapeutics and Faraday Pharmaceuticals.
The Lampe Lab at Fred Hutch has identified and validated a five-protein panel for early detection of colon cancer and adenoma. Two independent studies have confirmed this biomarker panel. Colon cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S.; about 150,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Early detection dramatically increases the odds of survival.
The pioneering immunotherapy company Juno Therapeutics was founded in 2013 as a partnership between Fred Hutch, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center and Seattle Children’s Research Institute, licensing cutting-edge research from all three institutions. It launched with $120 million in private investment funding, making it one of the largest biotech startups in history. Juno initially targeted blood cancers but has expanded its focus to include some solid-tumor cancers, such as colorectal cancer and certain sarcomas, in further partnership with Fred Hutch investigators.
