WHO
WE ARE

Nexantia Biotherapeutics was founded with a clear mission: to position Italy as a European hub for Antibody–Drug Conjugates (ADCs), with a strategic network of connection with some of the most important research centers in US. We bring together within a single ecosystem what is usually fragmented: Cutting-edge research, GMP-certified manufacturing, advanced training, and the acceleration of new biotech ventures.

WHY
IT MATTERS

Why ADCs. Why Now. 

ADCs are opening a new chapter in oncology therapy — one of the most promising frontiers in modern medicine. Europe is entering a new phase, one in which ADC research, GMP biomanufacturing, and biotech training converge within a single hub. Nexantia Project was created to lead this transformation. We are not just developing therapies — we are building bridges:

• Between science and patients

• Between talent and opportunity

• Between innovation and society
