Neuroscience at Ipsen
We create transformative treatments through advanced research and engineering capabilities that push the boundaries of neuroscience. Building on more than 30 years of expertise in harnessing naturally occurring neurotoxins, we are now undertaking development of potential new classes of treatment.
Our unique biologic development capabilities enable us to drive innovation across both therapeutic and aesthetic applications — from helping patients with debilitating neurological conditions to improving their psychological well-being and self-confidence.
Three Pillars of Innovation
Mastering nature’s blueprint
Our science in naturally occurring neurotoxins
For over three decades, Ipsen has built world-class expertise in naturally occurring neurotoxins — some of nature’s most sophisticated molecular machines. Our deep understanding extends from fundamental mechanisms of action to complex pharmaceutical development and precision manufacturing, establishing us as a key global player across the complete development spectrum.
This spans both therapeutic applications for debilitating neurological conditions and aesthetic applications to improve quality of life. From discovery through to global commercialization, we understand nature’s complexity and have shaped it into therapies.
Engineering the future
Working beyond nature’s constraints, Ipsen’s scientists have engineered corabotase. Corabotase is not another iteration; it’s a potential first-in-class innovation. Building on decades of expertise, we are now pioneering an entirely new class of recombinant neuroinhibitors (RNITM) that represent our expanding R&D pipeline.
Through advanced recombinant protein engineering, Ipsen’s experts have designed and produced a unique investigational recombinant neuroinhibitor (RNITM). Now designated by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Non-proprietary Names (INN) Expert Committee and the United States Adoption Name (USAN) Council as corabotase, recognizing the novelty of the moelcule.
Precision at scale
Our science in manufacturing
Our manufacturing capabilities are a cornerstone of our scientific innovation. Our state-of-the-art facilities enable the full spectrum of complex biological processes – from early development to large-scale global production.
Our innovative recombinant biomanufacturing platform enables us to design, develop, and manufacture molecules with precision delivering a high quality, engineered biologic product.
