Our take
Antibody discovery is the process by which antibodies are identified that bind to specific disease targets, enabling treatments for those diseases to be developed. AbCellera provides an AI-powered platform for antibody discovery, to help speed up the creation of such treatments.
As the pharmaceutical world continues to embrace AI, there is immense opportunity for AbCellera. The company already scored a big win back in 2020 by helping Eli Lilly identify the antibody it would use in its COVID-19 treatment. Now, it looks to 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, with steady revenue improvements and a number of partnerships under its belt.
