[{"type":"text","content":"\n-- Integrated offering to be highlighted at Festival of Biologics --\n\n-- Tracey Mullen, MBA, to lead Twist Biopharma Solutions --\n\n SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nTwist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a company enabling customers to succeed through its offering of high-quality synthetic DNA using its silicon platform, today announced an integrated offering of antibody discovery services available to customers. The offering combines Twist Biopharma’s synthetic libraries and AI machine learning with an in vivo immunization approach gained through the acquisition of Abveris, also known as Twist Boston. This premium service is able to provide customers with optimized, development-ready antibody candidates. The combined team will be led by Tracey Mullen, MBA, who was appointed senior vice president of biopharma for Twist Bioscience.\n\n“By integrating our platforms into a robust service menu, we now offer premium throughput, resolution and speed to customers looking to outsource antibody discovery and optimization,” said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “When we acquired Abveris about a year ago, we knew bringing in vivo, in vitro and in silico platforms together within Twist would truly differentiate our capability to optimize and deliver development-ready antibody drug candidates for our customers, including different antibody formats (bispecific, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), monoclonal, VHH, etc.) in multiple therapeutic areas.”\n\nDr. Leproust continued, “We have a rapid workflow, a track record of successfully identifying antibody leads against some of the hardest to drug biological targets and have discovered antibodies that are now in clinical trials. This makes Twist a strong partner for companies who desire a comprehensive and differentiated approach for both small projects and end-to-end workflows. We also routinely take on projects where others have failed to deliver antibodies.”\n\nThe newly combined entity, now known as Twist Biopharma Solutions, combines proprietary technology with years of industry expertise and scientific excellence to find the best antibody candidate for given therapeutic targets of interest. Supported by high-throughput DNA synthesis and IgG antibody production, Twist constructs large and highly specific synthetic antibody libraries ...
