AnaptysBio Inc

Company Profile

founded in 2005, anaptysbio, inc. is a privately-held company focused on the generation of antibody therapeutics, and the leader in the use of somatic hypermutation (shm) for antibody discovery and optimization. anaptysbio is building a pipeline of novel therapeutic antibody product candidates, including differentiated programs in cancer immunotherapy, inflammation, muscle wasting disorders, fibrosis and antibody-drug conjugate applications. anaptysbio’s proprietary shm-xel platform, which couples fully human antibody libraries with in vitro somatic hypermutation (shm) in mammalian cells to generate high affinity lead candidates, replicates key features of the human immune system and overcomes limitations of prior antibody technologies. by harnessing the natural mechanism of antibody maturation under controlled conditions, shm-xel allows for the selection of optimal antibody properties such as high affinity, function, cross-reactivity, epitope diversity and manufacturability. the c
