Absci Initiates IND-Enabling Studies for ABS-101, a Potential Best-in-Class Anti-TL1A Antibody de novo Designed and Optimized Using Generative AI
VANCOUVER, Wash. and NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Absci Corporation (Nasdaq:ABSI), a data-first generative AI drug creation company, today announced the initiation of IND-enabling studies for ABS-101, a potential best-in-class anti-TL1A antibody designed using Absci’s de novo generative AI foundation model. Given a target structure, Absci uses this model to designate a specific epitope of interest, allowing for the engineering of epitope-specific antibodies to access novel biology. Absci then uses its AI lead optimization models to further engineer candidates to have an optimal clinical development profile.
