To improve health with technologies that transform the way that antibody-based therapies are discovered.
35% employee growth in 12 months
The increasing application of artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical contexts combined with the declining capabilities of antibiotic treatment has opened up a huge opportunity for antibody-discovery firm, AbCellera.
The company provides an artificial-intelligence powered platform for identifying antibodies and developing treatments, and it scored a big win by helping Eli Lilly identify the antibody for its bamlanivimab COVID treatment.
The company is looking to successfully execute its 100 or so discovery programs for new drugs from which it can hope to earn millions in royalties.
The challenge for AbCellera, like many startups in the space, will be staying ahead of the curve in the application of emerging technologies while maintaining total compliance with regulations. So far signs are encouraging : it saw its revenues increase by about 25% over 2022 as it added 18 new partnerships in the period.
