VICTORIA, British Columbia / Nov 04, 2024 / Business Wire / ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Ltd. (the “Company” or “IPA”) (NASDAQ: IPA), an AI-driven biotherapeutic research and technology company, announces the details of its upcoming TECHDAY event on Friday, November 15, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This exclusive gathering will highlight IPA’s latest advancements in AI-driven design, biologics innovation, and strategic technological developments.

Highlights of TECHDAY:

• Presentation by Dr. Dirk Van Hyfte: Dr. Van Hyfte will present “Accelerating Drug Discovery with LENS^ai: A Comprehensive Solution.” He will showcase LENS^ai, BioStrand’s revolutionary platform, and discuss how it transforms drug discovery by integrating biotechnology, biotherapeutics, and artificial intelligence. Key topics include using HYFT® Universal Fingerprints to revolutionize multi-omics and data integration while accelerating drug discovery, development and optimization with AI-driven insights.
• LENS^ai Demo: A live demonstration of the LENS^ai platform, showcasing its capabilities in accelerating and enhancing the discovery and design of therapeutic antibodies through AI-driven insights.
• Presentation by Dr. Shuji Sato: Dr. Sato will present IPA’s B Cell Discovery Platform and discuss its integration with the company’s advanced AI and NGS workflows for highly efficient hit expansion. This process includes:
  • Fast analysis of complete NGS repertoires
  • Multimodal feature extraction that combines sequence, structure, and large language model (LLM) embeddings to deliver enhanced insights into sample diversity.
  • Add-ons that complement outputs from phage display, B-cell, and hybridoma technologies, enabling the retrieval of antibody sequences with characteristics similar to known binders.
• Fireside Chat: Disruptive Dialogue: Empowering Drug Discovery Through Seamless Data Integration and AI-Powered Insights
  Participants:
  • Dr. Dirk Van Hyfte, Head of Innovation and Co-founder, BioStrand (IPA)
  • Jeff Fried, Director of Platform Strategy and Innovation, InterSystems

This discussion will explore how vector search intelligence is at the core of the LENS^ai platform, seamlessly integrated with the InterSystems IRIS data platform to deliver precise, scalable solutions that accelerate antibody discovery, enhance accuracy, and increase candidate diversity.

AI-Driven Drug Discovery Summit USA 2024

Additionally, earlier that same week at the AI-Driven Drug Discovery Summit USA 2024, IPA will participate in another fireside chat titled Beyond conventional biologics: the intersection of machine learning and biological engineering to invent.

Participants at the AI-Driven Drug Discovery Summit USA 2024:

• Adam Root, Vice President and Head of Protein Sciences, Generate Biomedicines
• Dr. Dirk Van Hyfte, Head of Innovation and Co-founder, BioStrand (IPA)

The chat will focus on the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning with wet lab infrastructure to accelerate biologics development.
