Absci is a biotechnology company that uses generative artificial intelligence together with wet-lab validation to design de novo biologics, primarily antibodies. Its integrated AI Drug Creation Platform performs data generation, model training, de novo design, multi-parametric lead optimization, and AI-enabled target discovery (using reverse immunology) to uncover novel antibody/target pairs and accelerate IND-enabling studies. Absci advances internal and partnered therapeutic programs—such as ABS-201, a designed antibody targeting prolactin receptors for androgenetic alopecia—and emphasizes rapid iterative cycles between AI and lab work to shorten biologics discovery timelines.
