Miramar, Florida Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Hcw Biologics Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its groundbreaking multi-chain chimeric polypeptide platform. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11884712, titled ‘Multi-chain chimeric polypeptides and uses thereof’, utilizes engineered protein chains that assemble through affinity domains to enhance immune system targeting.
The patented technology comprises two distinct polypeptides. One includes a target-binding domain, a soluble tissue factor domain, and an affinity domain. The other features a complementary affinity domain and a second target-binding domain. These components associate via their affinity domains, forming a functional complex capable of precise immune modulation.
This modular design allows for customizable therapeutic agents, potentially improving treatments for cancer, autoimmune disorders, and age-related diseases. By facilitating targeted immune responses, the platform aims to increase efficacy while reducing side effects.
Hcw Biologics, led by inventor Hing Wong, focuses on developing innovative immunotherapies. This patent exemplifies their commitment to advancing healthcare through cutting-edge biotechnology.
