Presentation Abstract
Deep Microfluidic Screening for Discovery of Rare Antibodies with Optimal Properties
[Pfizer is] in a collaboration with HiFiBiO to establish a next generation microfluidic platform for antibody discovery that is allowing us to screen very large numbers of B-cells from humans and immunized animals for molecules that possess properties of interest. The massive throughput of the instrument and information rich assays allow [Pfizer] to identify rare antibodies that have both the biological activity of interest and favorable manufacturing properties.
About HiFiBiO
HiFiBiO’s platform uses single cell-based screening of entire antibody-secreting B cell populations along with bar coded next generation sequencing and rapid DNA synthesis to identify multiple leads and enable the development of potential optimized antibody candidates. The company has entered into multiple antibody discovery collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies. Learn more at www.hifibio.com.
