Johnson & Johnson will acquire biotechnology firm Firefly Bio for $1 billion in cash.

The deal integrates Firefly’s degrader antibody conjugate (DAC) platform into J&J’s oncology pipeline.

Firefly’s Firelink™ technology targets difficult-to-treat solid tumors, including those with KRAS mutations.

The platform delivers protein degraders directly to cancer cells to minimize damage to healthy tissue.

This acquisition leverages J&J’s antibody engineering expertise to advance cancer treatment development.
