NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Traverse Biotech, a US-based biotechnology company focused on the development of immunotherapies from international biopharma companies, announces that it has signed a license agreement with Genmab, Inc. under which Traverse will develop and commercialize a bispecific antibody for cancer immunotherapy.
