About Abalone Bio

Abalone Bio is a biotech company pioneering the discovery and design of functionally active antibodies, with an initial focus on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). We overcome the major challenge of discovering rare GPCR agonist antibodies by using our proprietary Functional Antibody Selection Technology (FAST), a high-throughput, yeast cell-based platform.

Our drug discovery engine is fundamentally differentiated by generating millions of direct antibody sequence-to-function relationships through Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of functionally active clones. These robust, high-quality functional datasets are orders of magnitude larger than industry standards and serve as the foundation for our cutting-edge AI/ML-driven design capabilities. We utilize sophisticated machine learning models, including Protein Large Language Models (PLLMs) and Reinforcement Learning (RL), to both discover functional activity and design novel, optimized antibody agonists.
