Context

Generative AI powered in silico antibody engineering

Computational methods allow us to search and design antibodies effectively in a highly expanded space by combining Generative AI, Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) and Machine Learning models of downstream properties.Our proprietary algorithms and computational pipeline seamlessly integrate sequence and structure based design considerations, and incorporate multiple property criteria enabling the design of antibodies with improved antigen binding and developability.
Our Solution

Powered by Generative AI

We leverage cutting edge computational technologies including Generative AI, Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models and Machine Learning for therapeutic antibody engineering. Our algorithms combine antigen binding affinity, specificity, and stability to produce desired candidate antibodies. Seamlessly integrating sequence, structure, and multiple property criteria, our proprietary pipeline enhances antibody design for improved antigen binding and developability.

Modular, Customizable Pipeline and AI models

Our modular technology can adapt to any antibody discovery stage- starting from disease, antigen, hit, or lead with liabilities. Our experts design antibodies with desired properties from concept to optimization

End-to-end support

We offer comprehensive project support, including customized pipeline development, in vitro antibody validation, and publication assistance

Align antibody design for clinical success

Mitigate candidate risk by assessing manufacturability, immunogenicity, potency, and humanness using our in silico developability toolbox

Accelerated antibody therapeutic development

Our in silico pipeline rapidly generates leads with a higher chance of success in the downstream stages of in vitro, in vivo and clinical testing

In the de novo antibody engineering pipeline, given a synthetic antigen-antibody complex or an existing antigen-antibody complex, the steps are selecting target proteins using ML generative models, concurrent design of antibodies with pluggable conditionalities, evaluation of produced antibodies which includes in silico evaluation of properties and on-demand wet lab evaluation, and finally a report containing a ranked order of antibody sequences. In an existing antibody optimization pipeline, given an existing antibody, the steps are improvement on developmental properties by using conditional generative models, evaluation of optimized properties using in silico tools such as docking, and on-demand in-vitro evaluation of properties.
