TRIANA Biomedicines Enters into a Research Collaboration with Johnson & Johnson to Identify Oncology Molecular Glue Degraders
Lexington, MA – January 6, 2026 – TRIANA Biomedicines, Inc. (TRIANA), a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing a target-first and proximity-first molecular glue discovery platform to address difficult to drug disease targets, today announced a research collaboration with Johnson & Johnson* to advance the discovery of important molecular glue targets in oncology.
The collaboration aims to advance next-generation molecular glue degraders by applying TRIANA’s proprietary molecular glue discovery platform to targets that have been inadequately targeted or considered undruggable. Molecular glues represent a potentially transformative modality that enables selective elimination of disease-driving proteins, opening the door to more accessible, durable, and differentiated therapeutics for patients.
“This collaboration agreement underscores TRIANA’s unique ability to discover promising therapeutics against hard-to-drug targets,” said Dr. Patrick Trojer, President and CEO of TRIANA. “We believe our molecular-glue discovery engine represents an important and emerging drug modality—one with the potential to bring meaningful benefits to cancer patients. The strategic partnership brings together unique capabilities from both companies in the pursuit of successfully identifying cancer targeted molecular glue degraders.”
