Home > Press > Stellar Biotechnologies’ Sub Invited to Submit Application by National Science Foundation (NSF) on Bayer Innovation Collaboration

Abstract:
Stellar Biotechnologies Inc. announced today that its California subsidiary has been invited to submit a formal application for funding under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology Enhancement for Commercial Partnerships (TECP) program.

Stellar Biotechnologies’ Sub Invited to Submit Application by National Science Foundation (NSF) on Bayer Innovation Collaboration

Port Hueneme, CA | Posted on October 20th, 2010

If the application is approved, the TECP program will provide financial support for research that will expand the current collaboration between Stellar and Bayer Innovation GmbH (BIG), a subsidiary of pharmaceutical giant, Bayer AG (PINKSHEETS: BAYRY), to include the development of key diagnostic assays.

The prestigious TECP program provides funding for research that is considered critical to the success of strategic partnerships between NSF funded researchers (1) and commercial partners such as Bayer Innovation. Applications to the program are by invitation only and require a letter of intent from the commercial partner for commercial use of the resulting technology.

In the letter of support BIG stated that: "We believe that the approach proposed by Stellar could set a standard, and would add significant value to Stellar's KLH by improving functional characterization. This is expected to translate into better regulatory filings."

BIG is pioneering the development of a proprietary technology for Plant Made Protein (PMP) as a raw material for production of cancer vaccines, and has selected KLH (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin) as the carrier protein for use in these therapeutic vaccine products.

Stellar's CEO, Frank Oakes said, "This is valuable research that is necessary to demonstrate consistent potency of the KLH used as a carrier protein in vaccines. Once put in place by Stellar, the technology will set a new industry standard. The National Science Foundation has recognized this need, and the TECP program is an exceptional tool for facilitating industry partnerships for the commercialization of cutting-edge technologies and treatments."
