dirk van hyfte md, phd, co-founder and head of innovation of biostrand, to present findings live next week at the himss24 conference in orlando, florida victoria, british columbia (canada), march 7, 2024 – ipa (immunoprecise antibodies ltd.) (the “company” or “ipa”) (nasdaq: ipa), an artificial intelligence-driven biotherapeutic research and technology company, today announced the development of a foundation ai model that represents a significant advancement in life sciences research and development. the company’s model uniquely combines the strengths of large language models (llms) through an advanced stacking technique with biostrand's patented hyft® technology. the hyft's ability to pinpoint unique 'fingerprints' in biological sequences enables the stacked llms to apply their vast knowledge base with greater specificity, leading to more accurate predictions and insights. this integration marks a pivotal moment in the utilization of artificial intelligence for complex biological data analysis and drug discovery. unveiling the intricacies of hyft technology central to the success of biostrand's foundation ai model is its utilization of its patented hyft technology, a sophisticated framework designed to identify and leverage universal fingerprint™ patterns across the biosphere. these fingerprints act as critical anchor points, encompassing detailed information layers that bridge sequence data to structural data, functional information, bibliographic insights, and beyond, serving as the great connector between disparate realms of knowledge. biostrand’s platform core is built upon a comprehensive and continuously expanding knowledge graph, mapping 25 billion relationships across 660 million data objects, and linking sequence, structural, and functional data from the entire biosphere to written text such as scientific literature, providing a holistic understanding of the relationships between genes, proteins, and biological pathways. the seamless integration of hyfts with stacked llms enables the biostrand ai model to decode the complex language of proteins, unlocking insights crucial for antibody drug development and precision medicine. large language models (llm), originally developed for natural language processing (nlp), can also be applied on “the language of proteins” enabling insights into tasks including, but not limited to, protein structure prediction, antibody binding optimization, and protein mutagenesis. to understand ‘the language of proteins’, it is essential to detect meaningful words and word boundaries. this is where the hyfts serve as critical enablers. by harnessing hyft's sophisticated computational capabilities, the previously abstract notion of identifying functional units or "words" in protein sequences is made tangible, allowing for precise mapping and analysis. the advanced foundation ai model employs a distinctive approach known as "llm stacking" to intelligently combine different llms, with the hyfts linked to specific features found in various llms. using a natural language analogy, this would mean one is able to distinguish the meaning of ‘apple’ based specifically on the context of the word, in other words, is the word “apple” referring to a type of fruit versus ‘apple’, silicon valley pioneer. in a life sciences context, these features, for example, could include identification of critical amino acid residues involved in protein binding or detecting sequence variations associated with disease susceptibility. the sequence diversity harnessed by the hyfts was discovered during the clustering of next generation sequencing data sourced from ipa’s pipeline subsidiary, talem therapeutics, utilizing the hyft network combined with llm stacking. through the incorporation of various features provided by llm stacking in this study, it was possible to differentiate between binding and non-binding antibodies, even when they shared similar hyft patterns. pioneering a new frontier in life sciences the concept of "word boundaries" within protein languages offers a groundbreaking approach to unlocking the complexities of protein structure and function, filling a void in the knowledge base of researchers and drug developers alike. by enabling precise identification and manipulation of functional units within proteins, this innovative methodology paves the way for advancements in drug discovery, protein-based therapeutics, and synthetic biology. it promises not only to accelerate the development of targeted treatments with higher efficacy and lower side effects but also to revolutionize protein engineering and design. this approach, leveraging cutting-edge computational models and analysis techniques, stands to significantly reduce research and development timelines and costs . advancing drug discovery and precision medicine - lensai ™ integrated intelligence technology™ this methodology revolutionizes biotechnology and pharmaceutical research by providing a robust framework for drug discovery, protein engineering, and the development of protein-based therapeutics. the hyft technology’s application of "word boundaries" is particularly compelling, as it aims to significantly accelerate research and development processes. through the facilitation of targeted treatments and the innovation of novel therapies, the hyft technology offers a reduction in development timelines and costs . by providing a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships between genes, proteins, and biological pathways, the model paves the way for the development of targeted therapies and personalized treatment strategies. reaffirming biostrand's leadership in biotech innovation "the development of our foundation ai model, powered by our unique 'llm stacking' approach and patented hyft technology, marks a significant milestone in the field of biotechnological research," stated dirk van hyfte md, phd, co-founder and head of innovation of biostrand. "this innovation not only expands the boundaries of current biotech research, but also establishes a new standard for the application of ai in solving complex biological challenges." “as the global community recognizes the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the life sciences,” dr. hyfte continued, “i am confident that biostrand's foundation ai model will stand at the forefront of innovation and the future of ai-driven solutions in biology and drug discovery.” a future of collaborative discovery in alignment with our mission to foster collaboration and innovation within the life sciences community, we are excited to announce that ipa's ceo, dr. jennifer bath, will participate in the h.c. wainwright 1st annual artificial intelligence based drug discovery & development virtual conference today march 7th, 2024. this participation underscores our commitment to leading the conversation on the future of ai-driven solutions in biology and medicine. additionally, we are thrilled to announce the participation of dirk van hyfte md, phd, co-founder and head of innovation of biostrand, alongside our esteemed technology partner, intersystems, at this year's himss24 conference in orlando, florida. together, we will be showcasing our latest advancements in the field of healthcare technology through intersystems’s innovator introduction program. our presentation will focus on introducing our groundbreaking universal foundation ai model for multiscale biological data integration. we invite you to join us for our lightning pitch session, where we will delve into the capabilities and potential impact of our universal foundation ai model. also, we welcome you to engage in fruitful conversations at intersystem's booth, #1361 at the himss conference, march 12th-14th, 2024. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including entities such as talem therapeutics llc, biostrand bv, immunoprecise antibodies (canada) ltd. and immunoprecise antibodies (europe) b.v.

IPA Releases New HYFT-Powered In Silico Humanization Platform, Aims to Disrupt the Transgenic Animal Model Market
victoria, british columbia, june 6, 2023 – immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“ipa” or the “company”) today introduced a transformative ai-driven rapid therapeutic screening platform, the result of a collaboration between ipa canada and its subsidiary, biostrand®. this innovative solution aims to significantly expedite the early stages of drug discovery by enabling the early elimination of less promising therapeutic candidates, thereby reducing time, cost, and the risk of failure during later stage discovery. the current transgenic animal model market, reaching usd 17.7 billion in 2021 and expected to grow by 8.1% cagr from 2022 to 2028¹, has been widely adopted in novel therapeutic discovery, primarily to avoid what was previously seen as time-consuming, expensive, risk-laden, and sometimes unsuccessful humanization processes. however, despite its widespread adoption, transgenics pose limitations of their own, such as a lack of diversity in therapeutic outputs, loss of therapeutic efficacy, and high costs. addressing these challenges, biostrand's recently patented technology introduces a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective alternative for early-stage therapeutic discovery. biostrand’s platform, termed the hyft® proprietary proteome presence assessment, optimizes potential therapeutic drug candidates at an early stage using the multi-functional lensai™ in silico humanization platform integrated with its patented hyft technology. this allows a multitude of potential therapies to be analyzed concurrently, reducing analysis time and costs, and ensuring that only the most promising candidates proceed further into the drug discovery process. (left) traditional antibody discovery and development timeline. linear model imposes increased risk of attrition due to the cost of lead candidate advancement with minimal insight into future clinical viability. (right) the new enhanced predictive insights gained by ipa’s new in silico-driven discovery cycle, which increases the probability of clinical success, saving our partners time and money. the concept of in silico humanization refers to the computational process of making an antibody or protein from a non-human source resemble human proteins. this is crucial for reducing the likelihood of immune responses against therapeutics, while preserving their functionality. biostrand's patented hyft technology, incorporated into their proprietary lensai software, screens the entire human proteome (the entire complement of proteins that is or can be expressed by a cell, tissue, or organism), as well as various animal proteomes, against candidate therapeutics. this screening is accomplished in under one minute per candidate molecule. this process advances the most 'human-like' molecules, speeding up humanization, reducing the manipulation required before use in clinical trials, and offering a rapid, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to transgenic animal models. other existing methods can only assess candidates against a subset of the human proteome, which can result in an incomplete evaluation of a protein's humanness and immunogenicity. hyft technology, however, uniquely addresses this limitation with several distinct advantages, including: use of the most comprehensive human proteome reference set, enabling more thorough comparisons. the ability to extract unique universal fingerprint™ patterns from biological sequences. the capacity to compare the humanized therapeutics to the human proteome, evaluating its similarity to endogenous proteins. the ability to capture both sequence and structural information, enabling a better understanding of the protein's function. scalability and high-throughput capabilities, allowing for rapid assessments of numerous candidate proteins against extensive reference datasets. leveraging these unique capabilities, the hyft proprietary proteome presence assessment offers a more accurate and complete assessment of candidates' humanness and immunogenicity. this supports the development of safer, more effective therapeutic proteins and antibodies while greatly streamlining the drug development process. "ipa's smooth fusion of computer-driven humanization and immunogenicity testing paves the way for faster development and boosts the potential of new treatment methods," stated dr. ingrid brands, co-founder and general manager of biostrand. "our dedication to innovation and pushing the limits of ai-driven therapeutic discovery is represented in this collaboration and integration. we're all about setting new standards in medicine and driving value for our investors.” ipa has provided insights into its strategic approach for monetizing this breakthrough technology. the plan involves targeting their extensive existing client base, which includes 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and hundreds of biotechnology firms. these clients typically face substantial costs, when using transgenic animals, to progress a single therapeutic candidate through the commercialization process. these costs often reach tens to hundreds of millions of dollars per molecule, encompassing upfront payments, milestone payments, and commercial royalties. by introducing a more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution via ipa's ai-driven platform, the company is well-positioned to provide greater results and value for its clients, reducing their costs and accelerating their drug discovery timelines. this increase in quality, productivity, and value is expected to translate directly into increased revenue streams for ipa, fostering substantial financial growth for the company and its investors. ¹ https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/animal-model-market about biostrand’s hyft technology biostrand's hyft technology extracts unique patterns, known as universal fingerprint™ patterns, from the entire biosphere, and integrates them with various data sources, such as scientific papers and medical records. the resulting knowledge graph encompasses over 660 million hyfts and more than 25 billion relations, providing a powerful resource for researchers and ai-driven analysis. the lensai platform, powered by hyft technology, takes advantage of the latest advancements in large language models (llms) to bridge the gap between syntax (sequences) and semantics (functions). this enables the platform to extract valuable insights from vast amounts of data, without the limitations of traditional llms. ipa's support of biostrand's pioneering work reinforces its commitment to investing in cutting-edge biotechnology solutions with the potential to transform the industry. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including entities such as talem therapeutics llc, biostrand bv, immunoprecise antibodies (canada) ltd., and immunoprecise antibodies (europe) b.v.

company received official notice from the european patent office (epo) for the decision to grant its patent application on april 5th, 2023. the patent was initially filed february 7th, 2020. patent application covers a method to efficiently handle mass biological sequence information. related patents pending in other countries, favorable outcomes anticipated victoria, british colombia march 27, 2023 – immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“immunoprecise” or “ipa” or the “company”), the parent company of biokey and affiliate of biostrand, announced today that the epo has issued a “decision to grant” for biokey’s patent application covering the company’s hyft® technology used to organize and analyze biological sequence information. the hyft technology and methodology provide a novel way to efficiently tap into sequence information, allowing the extraction and use the relevant information therein to address the current problems in omics data integration and analysis. the hyft technology serves as the core of the biostrand’s lensai integrated technologytm platform which provides cutting-edge data solutions and antibody discovery. the patent will provide biostrand’s lensai integrated technology with broad protection, further strengthening the company’s patent portfolio position and enabling exclusive access to the hyft technology. the company anticipates favorable outcomes in other countries as well, as many patent offices worldwide consider the status of related european cases to be highly relevant to the decision to grant patents. “this is a significant and exciting decision by the epo, and we view this announcement as a recognition of biostrand’s important contributions to the fields of omic data integration and analysis, fields paramount to the future of cancer research, precision medicine, biomarker identification, and novel drug discovery and development,” stated dr. jennifer bath, ceo of ipa. “this patent provides protection for biokey’s hyft technology, which will give scientists the ability to advance the development of safer and more effective therapies for the toughest medical challenges we face today.” the hyft technology hyft technology is a way of organizing information about the natural world by creating connections between patterns found in living things, called hyfts. these patterns can link genetic sequences to their structures and functions, as well as to other information such as scientific papers and medical records. the output, the hyft knowledge graph, contains over 660 million patterns and 25 billion connections, and is continuously updated with new information. this provides a powerful tool for exploring relationships in the natural world, which can be used for research and applications in medicine and other fields. the hyft graph is unique in its explicit representation of information from the whole biosphere, and it provides a transparent intermediate layer between sequences and predictions that allows for new knowledge to be extracted without the limitations of a black box. hyft-based technologies have numerous applications in various fields beyond just data integration, organization, and analysis, such as drug immunogenicity testing, drug discovery, and natural language processing (nlp). these applications have the potential to accelerate the drug development process and improve patient outcomes. in the field of immunogenicity, hyfts can help predict parts of a molecule that may trigger an immune response. this information is crucial in therapeutic and vaccine development, as it helps identify potential safety concerns before they become problematic. moreover, hyfts can predict off-target effects, which occur when a drug or therapy affects unintended targets in the body. early identification of potential off-target effects allows researchers to design safer and more effective treatments. in drug discovery, hyft-based technologies have multiple potential applications, including: toxicity prediction: by linking genetic sequences to toxicological data, hyfts can predict the toxicity of potential drug candidates, helping researchers identify compounds likely to cause adverse effects before entering clinical trials. drug repurposing: hyfts can identify existing drugs for repurposing by linking genetic sequences to known targets and functions, accelerating the drug discovery process by finding compounds already approved for other indications. clinical trial design: hyfts can optimize clinical trial design by linking genetic sequences to patient data and clinical outcomes, identifying patient subgroups more likely to benefit from specific treatments, and enabling personalized and efficient clinical trials. biomarker discovery: by linking genetic sequences to disease-specific phenotypes, hyfts can identify biomarkers of disease, helping to identify at-risk patients and enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. another application of hyft-based technologies is tied to nlp, which involves analyzing and extracting information from written or spoken language. hyfts can link text-based information, such as scientific papers or medical records, to specific genetic sequences or structures, facilitating more efficient and accurate analysis. this is particularly valuable in genomics and personalized medicine, where vast amounts of textual data must be processed and analyzed to identify potential therapies or treatments. the company believes that the utilization of hyft-based technologies in drug discovery and other fields shows great promise for expediting the drug development process and enhancing patient outcomes. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including

the program will leverage biostrand’s lensai® full suite of integrated intelligence technology® with libera bio’s multifunctional polymeric nanocapsules (mpn technology®) the alliance has stipulated a minimum of upfront and downstream milestone payments of usd 155 million plus commercial royalties, per product developed victoria, canada and santiago de compostela, spain, march 15, 2023 – immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“immunoprecise” or “ipa” or the “company”), an ai-driven biotherapeutic research and technology company, today announced that talem therapeutics llc, an independently operating subsidiary of ipa, and libera bio s.l., have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly address intracellular targets. it is estimated that 75% of disease-causing targets are located inside cells1. some of the most elusive cancer targets are expressed inside tumor cells. because they are so difficult to address, they have sometimes been deemed “undruggable” and thus represent high unmet medical needs. numerous pathways intersect inside tumor cells, such as the mapk pathway or the “hedgehog pathway”, and may generate conditions for tumors to develop, grow and evade the immune system. disrupting signals at one or more points within these pathways may slow down the growth of the tumors and inhibit their proliferation. small molecules have been successfully developed to this end, but they often present a significant lack of specificity resulting in toxicity, leading to undesirable side effects for patients. engineering antibodies to force them inside tumor cells has also been attempted, but it is a complex process, often wrought with failure. the collaboration between talem and libera bio will leverage a nanotechnology that has been proven in vivo to deliver antibodies inside tumor cells and provides a potential solution to this medical challenge. libera bio’s multifunctional polymeric nanocapsules (mpn technology®) offer an elegant way to deliver antibodies inside tumor cells. the relevant antibodies are encapsulated in multi-layer nanocapsules of approximately 1/10,000th of a millimeter in diameter. the nanocapsules are specifically designed around the physicochemical properties of antibodies, to protect them from degradation in the blood stream. libera bio believes that this might be the only nanotechnology with in vivo proof of concept of delivering whole antibodies intracellularly. in addition, mpns can deliver other biologic modalities or combinations of a biologic and a small molecule in the same nanocapsule. passively or actively targeted, the mpns deliver these compounds through a cell membrane and to intracellular targets. whole antibodies, close to their natural form, can be delivered in this manner. talem will leverage its antibody discovery and development expertise and access, including without limitation, the lensai technology® from biostrand b.v., an independently operating subsidiary of ipa. biostrand has developed a proprietary, ai-driven platform to optimize the design of such antibodies. biostrand computationally generates and rapidly screens a large set of diverse antibody candidates against a prioritized list of targets, including intracellular targets. talem and libera bio will jointly develop novel antibodies for use with mpn delivery, with the goal of offering them to larger pharma companies to conduct late-stage development and commercialization. the work launches with the investigation of two intracellular targets with very high unmet patient needs to offer options to the oncologists treating them. “as we continue to push the boundaries of cancer therapy, the ability to target intracellular proteins has been the 'holy grail' in oncology. libera bio's ground-breaking approach of enabling biologics to penetrate the cell membrane and reach previously 'undruggable' targets is an exciting development that has the potential to transform the way we treat cancer,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo and president of immunoprecise antibodies ltd. “the libera bio team has been very impressed with the combination of modern in silico tools and wet lab capabilities at the ipa family of companies. we are looking forward to this alliance that just may yield dozens of new options for cancer treatment,” added olivier jarry, co-founder and ceo of libera bio. 1. verdine gl, walensky ld. the challenge of drugging undruggable targets in cancer: lessons learned from targeting bcl-2 family members. clin cancer res. 2007;13(24):7264-70. doi:10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-07-2184. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including entities such as talem therapeutics llc, biostrand bv, immunoprecise antibodies (canada) ltd. and immunoprecise antibodies (europe) b.v.
