Absci, Owkin announce partnership to bring together AI platforms

Absci (ABSI) and Owkin announced a partnership bringing together two leading AI platforms to rapidly discover and design novel therapeutics for patients. Through this strategic partnership, Absci and Owkin will co-develop therapeutic candidates addressing novel targets in immuno-oncology and other indications, such as immunology and inflammation. Owkin’s predictive AI models will optimize target selection and validate therapeutic hypotheses using extensive biomedical datasets and patient-derived organoids. Absci’s generative AI Drug Creation platform, including its de novo antibody design models, will rapidly design therapeutic candidates against these novel targets. Together, the companies will aim to streamline and accelerate the path from research to clinical development.
