Abalone Bioの事業内容

Abalone Bio is tackling challenging undrugged targets underlying diseases affecting millions, focusing first cell-specific antibody drugs to treat obesity and metabolic disease without the GI side effects that cause 25% of GLP-1 drug patients to quit after 1 year. + High throughput experimental measurement uniquely leverages AI/ML: We’ve engineered cells to measure antibodies for pharmacological activity, not just structure or binding like others, 100 million at a time, 100X+ the throughput of others. With our large, proprietary activity datasets, we uniquely leverage ML to both unlock the discovery of rare hits and generate optimized hits for challenging targets, starting with G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) + Proven success: We have developed antibody agonists (activators) for 2 out of the 8 G-protein coupled receptors ever drugged by biotech. + Pharma traction: We’ve secured 3 partnerships with $3M in revenue and $125M in downstream value. + Externally validated science: We’ve been awarded $7M in non-dilutive grant funding for platform and program development.

Company

Company name

Abalone Bio

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

We create activating antibodies to treat diseases others can't.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that combines high-throughput experimental antibody screening with machine learning to discover activating antibodies targeting cell-specific receptors. Our product enables discovery and optimization of rare antibody hits against challenging targets like GPCRs, starting in obesity and metabolic diseases, focusing on safety and efficacy beyond current drugs.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for biotech and AI talent, which is critical for our platform combining synthetic biology and machine learning. Being in SF keeps us close to partners and investors focused on healthcare innovation.
