Big news! The first patient has been dosed in Pure Biologics’ exploratory Phase 0 clinical study of PBA-0405, a fully human IgG1 antibody that was discovered using #TwistBiopharmaSolutions’ synthetic antibody phage display libraries! “Solid tumors are historically difficult for drug developers to target and treat. This is the first antibody identified using our Twist Biopharma Solutions Library of Libraries to be tested in patients and it validates the potential of our synthetic antibody libraries to be used to discover novel drug candidates for hard-to-treat cancer indications,” said Emily Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “This is one of two of Pure’s candidates discovered using our synthetic antibody libraries and we look forward to seeing their progression.” Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gk3V6vFG Twist Bioscience, #antibody, #antibodydiscovery, #DNA

It is with a heavy heart that we share that Garry Merry, a Twister for more than 9 years, left this life today. Many of you had the privilege of working with him directly over the years, learning from his vast and unparalleled knowledge and history of DNA libraries. He educated all of us in this area, shaping the Twist DNA libraries team, providing consistent and (not so) subtle input into the operationalizing of libraries, and leading the biopharma sales team most recently. His jovial laughter and his colorful language complemented his deep industry knowledge, and he will be sincerely missed. We send our condolences to his family, his friends and the wide radius of people he touched deeply. He will be greatly missed.

Powerful molecular tools advance precision cancer research. Our suite of NGS tools support liquid biopsy research, enabling the study of ctDNA patterns. ctDNA—and liquid biopsies by extension—is poised to be a powerful tool in both research and clinical applications. Twist is committed to empowering this work, providing researchers with advanced tools and a team of experts to rely on. Read more about it in our latest blog post below. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gtqMQWkJ Twist Bioscience #DNA #liquidbiopsy #ctDNA #NGS

🎉 Announcing the expansion of our high-throughput antibody portfolio with the launch of a CHO cell line for Twist Express Antibodies! “With the majority of biotherapeutic drugs manufactured in CHO cell lines, expressing small-scale therapeutic antibody candidates in CHO for screening has become a vital first step to ensure successful downstream scale-up. We now provide a comprehensive portfolio of antibody production to further serve the biopharma market by offering both HEK293 with reduced turnaround times enabled by our Express Genes as well as the newly launched CHO cell line for Twist Express Antibodies,” said Emily Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist Bioscience. “By taking on the process of antibody development from sequence to protein, we meet the needs of therapeutic developers who currently make their own antibodies, a costly bottleneck in the discovery pipeline, providing them with a cost-effective, customizable, and scalable offering to support their research.” Twist Bioscience Expands High-throughput IgG Antibody Portfolio with Launch of CHO Express Antibodies: https://lnkd.in/gGh8nv4r #TwistBiopharmaSolutions #antibody #DNA
