Therapeutic Antibody Preclinical Development

Accelerating Antibody Therapeutics Through Advanced Preclinical Modeling and Predictive Evaluation

Developing safe, effective therapeutic antibodies requires robust preclinical models that are predictive of clinical outcomes. While traditional in vitro and in vivo models are fundamental in early discovery, they often lack the physiological complexity needed to fully assess mAb efficacy and safety. To address this gap, advanced in vitro assays, pharmacokinetic analysis, and specialized in vivo models are integrated to deliver more clinically relevant insights in antibody development.

With exclusive access to patient-derived organoid biobanks and assay development services using HUB Organoid technology, along with our partnership with BioIVT for high-quality immune cell subsets, we offer a uniquely comprehensive suite of preclinical evaluation models. These capabilities allow researchers to study mAb function in human-relevant systems, enabling the evaluation of safety, efficacy, and mechanism of action in models that more closely mirror human physiology.

Our integrated toxicology and pharmacology services further support the advancement of antibody candidates, providing critical data on potential off-target effects and safety profiles. By combining patient-derived models with end-to-end analytics, we help bridge the gap between discovery and clinical translation - reducing attrition rates and accelerating pipelines.
