Antiverse’s Big Challenge
Every year 20 million people die because of cancer, heart and lung diseases. There are hundreds of difficult targets associated with these conditions and unfortunately, less than 1% of these targets are explored due to current methods requiring purified targets with intact structures – which can take up to two years to extract and purify.
Antiverse use the blueprint of difficult targets to create a map of the antibody-target universe. By studying the map, their machine learning models uncover patterns (rules) that govern the relationships between these molecules. With inhouse wet-lab capabilities, they can generate data, develop machine learning models, validate predictions, and iterate rapidly – reducing the drug discovery process from years to weeks.
