Dr. van de Winkel has overseen the creation and development of a number of treatments for cancer and other diseases. Genmab is the creator of the following approved antibodies: TIVDAK™ (tisotumab vedotin-tftv), the first and only approved antibody-drug conjugate in the U.S. for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer and the first therapy Genmab has brought to patients (in partnership with Seagen), EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp), the first and only bispecific antibody to treat adults with R/R DLBCL (in partnership with AbbVie); DARZALEX® (daratumumab, marketed by Johnson & Johnson) a therapy that has redefined treatment of multiple myeloma. It is the first and only subcutaneous monoclonal antibody targeting CD38 approved for treatment of multiple myeloma and the first and only approved treatment for light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Additional approved antibodies include: Kesimpta® (subcutaneous ofatumumab, marketed by Novartis), the first B-cell therapy that can be self-administered by relapsing multiple sclerosis patients at home; TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab, under agreement with Roche granting sublicense to Horizon Therapeutics, now owned by Amgen) the first and only FDA-approved medicine for the treatment of thyroid eye disease,  RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw, marketed by Johnson & Johnson), the first fully-human bispecific antibody approved in the U.S. for lung cancer create using Genmab’s DuoBody® technology, TECVAYLI™ (teclistamab-cqyv, marketed by Johnson & Johnson) the first bispecific antibody for treatment of relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma, created using Genmab’s DuoBody® technology, and TALVEY™ (talquetamab-tgvs, marketed by Johnson & Johnson), a bispecific antibody for treatment of heavily pre-treated multiple myeloma, created using Genmab’s DuoBody® technology.

Genmab also has a broad clinical and pre-clinical product pipeline. Genmab's technology base consists of validated and proprietary next generation antibody technologies - the DuoBody® platform for generation of bispecific antibodies, the HexaBody® platform, which creates effector function enhanced antibodies, the HexElect® platform, which combines two co-dependently acting HexaBody molecules to introduce selectivity while maximizing therapeutic potency and the DuoHexaBody® platform, which enhances the potential potency of bispecific antibodies through hexamerization. The company intends to leverage these technologies to create opportunities for full or co-ownership of future products. Genmab has alliances with top-tier pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as research institutions, technology and data science organizations.

Dr. van de Winkel has over 30 years of experience in the therapeutic antibody field and served as Vice President and Scientific Director of Medarex Europe prior to Genmab. He is the author of over 300 scientific publications and has been responsible for over 180 patents and patent applications. Dr. van de Winkel holds a Professorship in Immunotherapy at Utrecht University. He is chairman of the board of directors of Hookipa Pharma, and member of the board of directors of LEO Pharma.

Genmab is an international biotechnology company with a core purpose to improve the lives of people with cancer and other serious diseases. To help develop and deliver novel therapies to patients, Genmab has formed 20+ strategic partnerships with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Genmab’s proprietary pipeline includes bispecific T-cell engagers, next-generation immune checkpoint modulators, effector function enhanced antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates.
