AI-Driven Assessment of Antibody Developability for Faster and More Reliable Biologic Development

AI-Driven Antibody Manufacturability Prediction

Successful antibody development requires more than high target affinity.

Many promising antibody candidates encounter development challenges due to poor manufacturability, including low expression, aggregation, instability, high viscosity, or formulation difficulties.

Neoncorte Bio applies AI-driven protein engineering and developability assessment to identify manufacturability risks early and support the selection and optimization of antibody candidates with stronger commercial potential.

Why Antibody Manufacturability Matters

Manufacturability has become a critical factor in therapeutic antibody development.
Even antibodies with excellent biological activity may be difficult to manufacture, formulate, or scale if they exhibit unfavorable biophysical properties.
Early prediction of manufacturability can help reduce development risk, prioritize stronger candidates, and improve the efficiency of antibody discovery programs.

Publications
Scientific Publication of Neoncorte Bio Team
  • Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that show enhanced reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity while retaining other desirable properties such as fidelity, 5′-3′ exonuclease activity, effective deoxyuracil incorporation, and tolerance to locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing substrates.
  • The transcriptomic data are being frequently used in the research of biomarker genes of different diseases and biological states. The most common tasks there are the data harmonization and treatment outcome prediction. Both of them can be addressed via the style transfer approach. Either technical factors or any biological details about the samples which we would like to control (gender, biological state, treatment, etc.) can be used as style components.
