    Any antibody format

    IgG, VHH, VHH-Fc, Fab, scFv, minibinders, multi-specifics, and ADCs, with run-to-run consistency validated against published literature.

    What the panel tells you

    5 risk areas

    Aggregation

    Does it clump or fragment?

    SEC · CE-SDS

    Monomer purity and fragmentation from size-exclusion and capillary electrophoresis.

    Thermostability

    When does it unfold?

    nanoDSF

    Melting and onset temperatures to rank conformational stability.

    Hydrophobicity

    Is the surface sticky?

    HIC · SMAC

    Hydrophobic interaction and colloidal stability chromatography.

    Self-association

    Will it stick to itself at high dose?

    AC-SINS · DLS-kD

    Self-interaction signals that predict viscosity and high-concentration behavior.

    Binding & specificity

    Does it bind only what it should?

    BLI · CHO/Ova · HAC

    Target and FcRn binding, polyreactivity, and heparin binding.

    Also available: titer, formulation screening (FaST), and functional assays.

    [ Stages 1–2 · Lab-in-the-loop ]

    Built for AI-driven design campaigns

    You bring AI-designed panels. We build and test each cycle fast. Then advance the top binders to full function and developability profiling.

    Stage 1 — iterative discovery

    E. coli CFPS · fast TAT

    Design

    Your AI models

    Build

    Cell-free expression

    Test

    BLI binding + reporter function

    learn + redesign over multiple cycles

    Fast loop first: every cycle scores binding and reporter function before any CHO developability work.

    Top binders

    Stage 2 — function + developability

    CHO · VHH-Fc
    1. Reformat to VHH-Fc

      Half-life & clinical assay format

    2. Express in CHO

      Mammalian production of the lead panel

    3. Developability + function

      PROPHET-Ab panel & richer functional assays

    [ Stage 3 · AI/ML ]

    Stage 3 — large-scale data & modeling

    Data and compute built for developability models.

    We combine scalable Google Cloud compute and shared model-training infrastructure with protein-specific ML expertise and standardized, high-throughput assay data.

    Our previous work showed improved prediction as training data expanded, while the consortium provides a path to harmonized data and federated model development across partners.

    [ Consortium ]

    Antibody Developability Consortium

    AbbVie, argenx, Lundbeck, and Takeda are building a 10,000-antibody federated dataset with Ginkgo and Apheris. We are building the global model together.
