Strategic Intelligence & Landscape Analysis
De-risking R&D through data mining and competitive landscape mapping
Before investing in wet-lab validation, we provide the technical clarity needed to identify gaps for unique scientific contributions. These services are ideal for teams developing new reagents, diagnostic assays, or therapeutic leads.
- Patent Landscape & Freedom to Operate (FTO) Review:
- A deep-dive into existing patent coverage for specific antibody or protein sequences. Identification of “expired” IP that can be leveraged or “active” IP that must be avoided.
- Process & Literature Mining:
- Comprehensive review of existing manufacturing and purification procedures for a specific target.
- Identifying technical gaps in current methods to justify new reagent development or diagnostic improvements.
- Database Sequence Mining:
- Utilizing ML-driven search tools to identify naturally occurring homologs or unexplored variants in public and our internal proprietary databases.
- Correlating sequence data with known functional properties to find “hidden” candidates for optimization.
Operational Excellence
Documentation that clears regulatory and manufacturing hurdles
- The SOP Suite:
- Comprehensive, step-by-step Standard Operating Procedures ready for lab implementation.
- QA/QC Framework Design:
- Development of quality control metrics and testing protocols for protein/antibody production.
Computational Design & Engineering
High-value ML and physics-based structural work
- Starting points:
- We compile a list of protein sequences for your process to get you started. We’ll offer feasibility support to get you up and running.
- Deliverable: deep-dive report on a current candidate’s viability and potential failure points. We’ll offer troubleshooting and reagent support.
- Targeted Optimization:
- Sequence redesign of given sequence to improve a desired trait (activity, stability, solubility, etc.)
- Deliverable: > 20 candidate protein sequences with at least one showing improved performance
