research team led by Professor Ming-Shi Chang (Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), has discovered an anti-interleukin-20
(anti-IL-20) antibody, a potential new anti-osteoporosis and anti-rheumatoid
arthritis drug, and agrees to license selected intellectual property and transfer
certain technology to Novo Nordisk A/S, the second largest
pharmaceutical company in Europe, for a total payment of US$ 13.3 million
