About DNX Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Diego, California, USA, DNX is a biopharmaceutical company developing non-immunogenic, long-acting biologic therapies for the treatment of patients with life-long diseases linked to inflammation, autoinflammation and oncology. As an awardee of the Lung Cancer Innovation QuickFire Challenge, DNX received residency at Johnson & Johnson Innovation - JLABS @ Shanghai.
