Geneious Biologics to Power Biological Drug Development
Geneious Biologics to Power Better Biological Drug
Development
AUCKLAND, NZ – May 23, 2017 –
Geneious Biologics, an enterprise software solution for
screening antibodies and related constructs using sequence
data, was launched today and will change the way scientists
identify antibodies for use in biological drug development.
The Geneious Biologics software platform will allow
biopharma and biotechnology enterprises to create highly
annotated antibody databases, significantly improving their
ability to leverage accumulated knowledge and gain insights
into trends and relationships that may otherwise have been
missed.
“Biopharmaceutical enterprises are
generating huge volumes of data in the development of new
antibody based therapeutics,” said Jannick Bendtsen, Vice
President of Technology Services, Geneious Biologics.
“Geneious Biologics will help them combine and
analyze data from different sources and find high-value
candidate antibodies much faster than they’ve ever been
able to before.”
An advanced application programming
interface (API) enables Geneious Biologics to integrate with
established data systems while a powerful filtering and
query language allows scientists to quickly and accurately
identify best performing antibodies, regardless of the
data’s origin in their organization’s
infrastructure.
“New technologies like Geneious
Biologics will play an important role in allowing
researchers to better leverage existing molecular data
sets,” said Michael Skynner, Ph.D., Vice President of
Operations at Bicycle Therapeutics.
“Working with
Geneious Biologics to apply this application to the analysis
of our unique data sets has been enabling for Bicycle
Therapeutics and I can see how this could drastically
improve speed and accuracy in other areas of drug
development.”
"One of the remaining bottlenecks to
efficiently identify optimal antibody candidates is antibody
sequence processing. Providing insight into large antibody
sequence and data sets, such as can be retrieved from
Isogenica’s fully synthetic human Fab or llamdA VHH domain
antibody libraries, will speed up biologic drug
development,” said Guy Hermans, CSO of Isogenica
Ltd.
“Geneious Biologics will allow our licensees to
optimally use the data on the large number of leads
retrieved from our libraries and, ultimately, enhance
biologic drug development processes.”
Geneious
Biologics was launched today at Bio-IT World in Boston. It
is now generally available to enterprises engaged in
commercial antibody discovery and screening. For more
