 • Company Description   
Ligand, being a biotechnology company, focuses on developing/acquiring royalty revenue generating assets and coupling them with a lean corporate cost structure.

Captisol is a well validated chemically modified cyclodextrin that is designed to improve safety and solubility, stability, and bioavailability or lessen the volatility, irritation, smell or taste of drugs. Ligand has merged with CyDex. By this, it added an antibody-generating platform, OmniAb, to the company's portfolio. Its other technology platforms include antigen discovery platform & protein expression platform. All these technologies have created a strong platform for Ligand to seek new licenses and partnerships.
