The Pharma Letter Podcast — Episode 29 — How can we use AI to program antibodies?

This week, we discuss a novel AI-driven approach to drug development, and its potential to transform the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

We are joined by Yanay Ofran, chief executive and founder of Israel-based Biolojic Design, a company that is working on programmable antibodies.

Biolojic's platform has already yielded a first-of-its-kind computationally designed antibody, now in Phase II trials, as well as a pipeline aimed at autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

The firm has also forged collaborations with major players in the industry, including fellow Israeli firm Teva (NYSE: TEVA), as well as Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Germany’s Merck KGaA (MRK: DE).
