Uses AI and synthetic biology to design novel antibody drug candidates for pharma partners and its own pipeline.
Uses AI and synthetic biology to design novel antibody drug candidates for pharma partners and its own pipeline.
Pharma partners pay research fees and milestone payments for antibodies the platform designs, with royalties only if those drugs are sold, so revenue is small and irregular. It pays for its own programmes by raising capital from investors.
Moat: narrow (data, IP / patents, process know-how). Combines generative AI with wet-lab synthetic biology to design antibodies faster than traditional discovery.
