Parental Fab liabilities can dictate the fate of final bispecific assembly, often guided by the “Rule of Additivity.” This webinar explores how parental mAb profiling and a systematic bispecific library can clarify which attributes transfer to bsAbs and which liabilities emerge after assembly.

Using a diversity-maximizing approach and profiling parental mAbs, researchers rationally designed and expressed a 160-member bispecific library. By applying an antibody design and analysis platform, they generated a high-dimensional dataset to identify where parental inheritance holds versus where it breaks down.

The findings shed light on the limits of linear additivity, characterizing emergent liabilities that escape standard predictions. This webinar will highlight key correlations and significant decouplings between Fab-arm and bsAb attributes, supporting a more nuanced roadmap for de-risking complex biologics.

Register for this webinar to learn how bsAb developability data can help predict pairing risk, identify emergent liabilities and de-risk complex biologics earlier.

Ginkgo Datapoints

Ginkgo Datapoints is an outsourced data-generation business built on Ginkgo Bioworks’ automation infrastructure as a purpose-built experimental data provider for AI-driven drug discovery. We generate experimental data for drug discovery programs at the throughput, structure, and turnaround times that modern, iterative teams actually need. To date, we’ve generated over 2.5 billion omics datapoints and more than 100,000 antibody datapoints. Built by robots, not by hand, our capabilities span antibody developability, perturbation response profiling, specialized high-throughput screening, and small molecule ADME, delivering structured, ML-ready data returns from validated, automation-driven methods.
