Corporate presentation summary
7 May, 2026AI-driven drug discovery platform
Integrated AI-native platform combines advanced computational models with a 77,000 ft² automated wet lab for rapid, de novo antibody design and optimization.
Platform enables industrialized, capital-efficient drug discovery, reducing timelines from years to months and costs from $50-100M to $10-15M per program.
Proprietary models can design antibodies against challenging targets with minimal prior data, supporting multi-epitope and functional optimization.
Lab-in-the-loop validation ensures AI-designed antibodies meet criteria for specificity, developability, and manufacturability.
Demonstrated success in cross-species optimization, multi-variant specificity, and pH-sensitive binding.
Clinical pipeline and lead programs
ABS-201, an anti-prolactin receptor antibody, is advancing for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and endometriosis, with Phase 1/2a trials initiated in December 2025.
AGA program targets a large, underserved population (~80M in the US), aiming for durable hair regrowth with infrequent dosing and superior efficacy to current therapies.
Endometriosis program leverages a novel, non-hormonal mechanism to address pain and lesion growth, targeting a US market of 9M patients.
ABS-101 for IBD shows improved half-life and tissue penetration, ready for partnering.
Multiple early-stage programs in immunology, inflammation, and metabolism are in development or available for partnership.
ABS-201: scientific rationale and preclinical data
ABS-201 targets PRLR, shifting hair follicles to the growth phase, promoting regrowth and pigmentation restoration.
Preclinical models show superior efficacy to minoxidil and durable hair regrowth in primates, with extended half-life and high bioavailability.
Human genetics and ex vivo studies support safety and mechanism of action, with no major adverse effects observed in PRLR loss-of-function individuals.
Market research indicates strong patient and clinician demand, with a potential US TAM >$25B and global TAM >$40B.
Phase 1/2a trial designed for robust safety, PK/PD, and efficacy endpoints, with interim readouts expected in 2026.
