Twist Bioscience, LakePharma to collaborate for antibody discovery

Twist Bioscience Corporation and LakePharma announced a strategic collaboration to offer antibody discovery and development solutions to pharmaceutical and biotechnology customers. Under the terms of the agreement, LakePharma will have the ability to offer Twist’s proprietary antibody discovery and optimization platforms to their existing and future biopharmaceutical customers as part of their service offerings. One such platform generated is for discovery of novel therapeutic antibodies against a major class of protein drug targets known as GPCRs, which traditionally have been difficult for biologics drug development. GPCRs have been heavily investigated due to their involvement in multiple disease classes, including inflammation, cancer, metabolism, respiratory, and pain. In return, customers of Twist will have access to LakePharma’s integrated discovery and development services.
