Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Momenta”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in May 2001 and began operations in early 2002. Its facilities are located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Momenta is a biotechnology company specializing in the structural characterization, process engineering and biologic systems analysis of complex molecules such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, and biologics (including proteins and antibodies). The Company’s initial technology was built on the ability to characterize complex polysaccharides. Over the last decade, the Company has expanded its expertise into technologies that enable it to develop a diversified product portfolio of complex generics, biosimilars, and novel products. The Company presently derives all of its revenue from collaborations.
