Our Process

Target Selection

We focus on known drivers of disease with few, low efficacy, or no approved therapies — addressing treatment gaps where patients need options most.

Antibody Discovery

Our team utilizes proprietary natural and synthetic libraries to maximize an initial pool of high-value candidates.

Physiologic Screening

Screening on artificial materials doesn't save time when it inappropriately indicates target engagement. We avoid this by leveraging a novel, sensitive high-throughput approach that preserves a target's natural context.

Functional Validation

Binding isn't enough. We put our candidates through rigorous evaluations to ensure functional activity before advancing them further.
