    Rising Above the Status Quo: Better Antibody Discovery Will Lead to Better Therapies

    However, the tides are turning. The field of immuno-oncology, an innovative treatment approach that uses the body's immune system to help fight cancer, is advancing at such a rapid pace that lengthy and inexact antibody discovery simply can’t keep up. Medical knowledge about important antibodies needed for successful treatment is outpacing the long lead times of hybridoma and phage display processes.

    When people ask me what I do, I tell them that I’m focused on solving this problem. In founding GigaGen in 2010, my goal was to bring much-needed innovation to the discovery side of antibody therapeutics. Our platform obtains markedly faster results and a greater abundance of high-potential antibodies by capturing the entire immune system, including the full repertoire of antibodies it creates. What we have now is a process that can find hundreds of antibodies that attack any target from a pathogen all within six weeks, at least ten times faster than it is has taken in the past. This ensures no valuable antibodies are missed, unlike conventional discovery methods. And we are quickly building a large pipeline of therapeutic human antibodies against the most promising targets.

    With more antibodies discovered than ever before, we will have more opportunities to develop new life-saving drugs.

    But in the US - who is going to pay and how much?
