Function first, from the start.

MindWalk provides end-to-end antibody discovery services through a Function-First approach that brings functional screening, developability, and risk considerations earlier in discovery. Clients work 1:1 with scientific and technology experts to shape a customized program around their target and goals. We combine target-informed immunization, rigorous wet lab analysis, AI-enabled insights, and deep antibody expertise to generate diverse, phenotypically relevant antibody panels. This integrated approach supports more informed candidate selection, lead optimization, and downstream development.

Transforming workflows

Comprehensive continuum

Front-loading discovery brings functional screening, developability, and risk forward from the first immunization. As a recognized global wet lab leader, we pair that with AI-enabled analysis from the earliest stage to support evidence-based candidate evaluation as programs move into development.

Workflows designed to support candidate progression

Early-stage insights bring biological context forward, helping teams identify promising antibodies and make more informed development decisions.

Used by teams across 19 of the top 20 global pharma companies, next-generation biotechs, and leading research institutions

Advanced lab. Thirty-five years of it.

Led by scientists, our lab combines depth, precision, and versatility to advance antibody discovery, with LensAI™ analysis alongside the bench to evaluate every candidate.

Wet lab antibody discovery and development

As a global leader in antibody discovery, we deliver state-of-the-art research that supports programs from exploration through downstream development. Our platforms are recognized for diversity and reproducibility, helping teams move promising candidates forward.

Antibody discovery with LensAI™ analysis

B cell Select®

Identify top antibodies early with function-first screening of target-enriched B cells. Multi-species versatility, high efficiency and exceptional hit-rate, native pair identification and LensAI™ analysis make it especially powerful for challenging programs. With a demonstrated >98% success rate, B cell Select® has contributed to multiple publicly disclosed client candidates now in the clinic.

 

Antibody discovery with LensAI™ analysis

Hybridoma

Discover top antibodies in just two weeks with MindWalk’s single-step Hybridoma platform, leveraging semi-solid media and direct colony picking. Function-first screening, target-agnostic design, and the ability to accommodate challenging functional assays support the rapid identification of high-value clones across all targets.

Antibody discovery with LensAI™ analysis

Yeast Display

Yeast display is a highly effective platform for screening antibody libraries from immune sources as well as for engineering of pre-existing clones. The fidelity of expression in the eukaryotic system combined with the affinity selection by FACS enables rapid enrichment and selection of clones with the most desirable properties.

Antibody Development with LensAI

Lead Characterization

Newly discovered antibody hits are systematically analyzed across structural, functional, and developability dimensions—including structural, functional, liability, immunogenicity, and paratope profiles—using integrated computational and experimental approaches to identify the most clinic-ready clones early in discovery.

Antibody Development with LensAI

Lead Optimization

Powered by the LensAI platform and HYFT® technology, our lead optimization integrates AI-guided rational design with wet-lab validation and simultaneous multi-feature analysis. The result is designed to deliver faster, data-driven refinement that minimizes trial-and-error, reduces early risk, and produces optimized leads with stronger performance and lower late-stage attrition.
