Information about Molecular Partners AG


Founded in 2004 by a group of PhD students as a spin-off from the University of Zurich, Molecular Partners AG is a thriving and steadily growing clinical stage biotech company located in Zurich-Schlieren (Switzerland) with 125 highly qualified employees.


In order to advance modern medicine and significantly improve the management of serious diseases, we have developed and successfully established a powerful new class of potent, specific and versatile small protein therapies, called DARPin® therapeutics.

Next to our own pipeline of drug candidates we have entered into collaborations with leading international pharmaceutical companies, including Allergan, Roche and Janssen Pharmaceuticals.


The highly dedicated, multi-disciplined team at MP is committed to developing breakthrough medicines for serious diseases.
