AI tool helps optimize antibody medicines
Machine learning points out why antibodies fail to stay on target, binding to molecules that aren’t markers of disease—and suggests better designs.

$3.8M grant supports protein engineering technologies that improve brain delivery of neuroprotective antibodies for treating Alzheimer’s disease
The research will involve developing and optimizing bifunctional antibodies, which target one molecule at the blood-brain barrier for transport into the brain and a second molecule in the brain to mediate neuroprotective function.
