Novartis Pharma Lab
Novartis and iBET have a long-term partnership that both consider successful in creating value together.

Research Focus
The Novartis Pharma Laboratory at iBET focuses on antibody discovery and the developability of therapeutic proteins.
Additionally, our team works on producing viral vectors and optimizing cell lines to enhance virus quality and production yields.
The team’s overall goal is to contribute to Novartis’s R&D pipeline while reinforcing iBET’s internal R&D strategy.
The Novartis team supports iBET’s internal R&D through application to national funding calls and to the iBETXplore program, in a joint effort with other iBET teams. These projects foster communication and teamwork, potentially opening new doors and unforeseen opportunities.
