Momentum Biotechnologies, a CRO for mass spectrometry-based drug discovery, and Cube Biotech, a company specializing in membrane protein targets, have entered a strategic partnership to support clients’ novel therapeutic solutions. The collaboration combines Cube’s protein technology platforms, which enable difficult membrane proteins to be synthesized and purified without compromising native structure, with Momentum’s ability to identify and develop promising clinical leads through well-established mass spectrometry-based screening and characterization pipelines.

Through the partnership, clients will be able to leverage high-throughput approaches for the interrogation of membrane-bound proteins, an otherwise challenging target class with extensive clinical relevance.
 
“Our premier screening capabilities provide the perfect complement to Cube’s innovative protein technologies,” said Can Ozbal, Ph.D., Founder and CEO of Momentum Biotechnologies. “This partnership will ultimately allow our clients to identify and optimize hits even more effectively, supporting the development of cutting-edge therapeutics.”
 
“By combining our strengths with Momentum Biotechnologies’ offerings, we aim to break new ground in drug discovery and accelerate the development of innovative therapies,” said Jan Kubicek, Co-founder and CSO of Cube Biotech. “Our complementary technologies and shared dedication to scientific excellence will significantly enhance our ability to tackle the most challenging protein targets and deliver actionable insights to our clients.”
