The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has entered into a research and license agreement with Sunesis Pharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company located in South San Francisco.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Small Molecule Discovery Center (SMDC) at UCSF is granted a limited license to utilize Sunesis' fragment-based drug discovery technology Tethering®, for academic purposes. The SMDC intends to leverage Sunesis' technology to identify novel small molecule drug candidates. In return, Sunesis receives an exclusive royalty-free license to any improvements to the Sunesis technology or fragment libraries that emerge from the SMDC's research. In the event that any small molecules are discovered using Sunesis' technology, Sunesis will have a right of first negotiation to in-license the compounds.
