Forbius (Formation Biologics) is a clinical-stage company that designs and develops biotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic diseases. The company is developing agents targeting the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathways, enabling doctors to have highly active inhibitors of validated pathways that have a differentiated mechanism of action. Forbius’ medicines are designed to radically transform patients’ lives. Their strength is utilizing their knowledge of biology and diverse protein engineering technologies to design superior inhibitors of validated biological pathways. Forbius was founded in 2011 as a management-led spin-out from YM BioSciences, prior to YM's acquisition by Gilead.
