Abalone Bio’s and PipeBio’s announcement of ongoing collaboration
PipeBio’s advanced bioinformatics platform and its integrated workflows support preclinical biotherapeutics company Abalone Bio’s proprietary antibody discovery platform for therapeutics discovery efforts
EMERYVILLE, Calif. and HORSENS, Denmark (PRWEB)
October 25, 2022
Abalone Bio, a preclinical biotherapeutics company and PipeBio, a bioinformatics cloud platform provider, announce their continued collaboration around antibody bioinformatics analysis supporting Abalone Bio’s antibody discovery research and development efforts. PipeBio’s advanced bioinformatic platform complements Abalone Bio’s Functional Antibody Selection Technology (FAST) antibody discovery platform, which aims to find treatments for difficult-to-drug G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and other difficult membrane protein targets with disease indications ranging from inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer.
Since implementation, the bioinformatics platform from PipeBio has helped Abalone Bio transition into large scale NGS data analysis of antibodies, with single-click analysis pipelines helping Abalone Bio speed up analysis and quickly identify candidate antibody sequences for further development.
“PipeBio’s workflow is easy to use for members of our team across the full range of computational experience, making NGS-based antibody library and enrichment analyses accessible while still remaining powerful and flexible. ” – Richard Yu, CEO and co-founder, Abalone Bio
Abalone Bio’s pursuit of GPCR-modulating antibody therapeutics includes several discovery programs where PipeBio’s bioinformatics cloud is utilized for data storage, computation and advanced data analysis. As part of the collaboration, PipeBio has provided bespoke graphics solutions for estimation of antibody library diversity, which have been widely adopted and employed by Abalone Bio.
“We are thrilled to support Abalone Bio’s research efforts with both our tools and expertise. For us, the most exciting part is to be able to contribute to novel therapeutics for the wide array of diseases that Abalone Bio’s GPCR-targeting research approach intends to address.” – Jannick Bendtsen, CEO, PipeBio
