AbCellera and Angios GmbH (Angios) announced that they have entered into a multi-year, multi-target collaboration to facilitate the discovery of monoclonal and bispecific antibodies for vascular diseases of the eye. AbCellera will use its full stack, AI-powered antibody discovery platform to generate panels of antibodies for up to three Angios-selected targets to address diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy, which is a complication of type 1 and 2 diabetes, is caused by chronic hyperglycemia and is the leading cause of preventable visual impairment and blindness in working-age adults. Patients with diabetes who have an increased risk of developing retinopathy include those with comorbid hypertension and dyslipidemia. Under the terms of the agreement, Angios will have the rights to develop and commercialize therapeutic products resulting from the collaboration. AbCellera will receive equity and research fees and is eligible for milestone payments and royalties based on the development and commercialization of antibodies generated by AbCellera under this collaboration.
