study demonstrates selective targeting of misfolded tdp-43 with relevance to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als), frontotemporal dementia (ftd), and certain forms of alzheimer’s disease victoria, british columbia--(business wire)-- mindwalk holdings corp. (“mindwalk” or the “company”) (nasdaq: hyft) today announced the discovery and validation of monoclonal antibodies and intrabodies that selectively target misfolded, pathogenic tdp-43, a disease-driving protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als), frontotemporal dementia (ftd), and certain forms of alzheimer’s disease. this achievement, generated through mindwalk’s integrated discovery engines and research ecosystem, demonstrates the company’s ability to discriminate with structural precision between toxic protein conformations and their essential, healthy counterparts, a long-standing challenge in neurodegenerative disease drug development. by defining the disease-driving structural state and anchoring it in bio-native wet-lab validation, mindwalk is resolving both the structural and functional logic of neurodegeneration and converting that understanding into selective, evidence-linked biological assets. “this discovery is a direct validation of our platform strategy,” said dr. jennifer bath, president and chief executive officer of mindwalk. “we are not just discovering antibodies. we are identifying the disease-defining protein state and translating that insight into selective, validated assets with traceable biological evidence behind them. this is what platform-driven execution looks like in debilitating, life-threatening disease.” mindwalk has demonstrated its ability to generate disease-defining biological assets through the creation of monoclonal antibodies and intrabodies that selectively recognize misfolded, pathogenic tdp-43, a protein implicated in nearly all als cases and a significant portion of ftd and alzheimer’s disease cases. the defining feature of this work is selectivity: the ability to distinguish toxic protein conformations from their healthy counterparts, a key determinant of downstream development risk in neurodegenerative drug programs. beyond the specific biology, this work provides external validation of mindwalk’s platform capabilities in a client-driven setting. it demonstrates the company’s ability to systematically identify and characterize disease-driving protein states and translate that understanding into selective, evidence-linked biological assets. strategically, this strengthens mindwalk’s position as a trusted discovery partner for complex neurodegenerative programs and supports expanded opportunities for future collaborations, repeat engagements, and broader application of its platform across similarly challenging disease areas. “every molecule we characterize today strengthens our evidence base for what defines disease and what distinguishes healthy biology,” added dr. bath. “that compounding, evidence-linked learning is what defines a truly bio-native platform.” the full scientific study, “rational generation of monoclonal antibodies and intrabodies selective for pathogenic tdp-43,” is available on biorxiv (doi: 10.1101/2025.06.10.658846). about mindwalk mindwalk is a bio-native ai company transforming drug discovery and development. powered by its patented hyft® technology and lensai™ platform, mindwalk unifies sequence, structure, function, and literature into a single computational language and closes the loop with a fully integrated wet-lab. the platform enables rapid epitope mapping, de novo molecular design, in silico vaccine exploration, and population-scale biologics analytics to convert insight into validated candidates with speed and precision. forward looking statement this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. forward-looking statements include statements regarding the significance of the discovery and validation described in this release, the company’s discovery capabilities and platform performance, the potential relevance or application of the monoclonal antibodies and intrabodies referenced, the ability to identify and characterize disease-driving protein states, the potential translation of preclinical findings into future research or development programs, and potential future collaboration, partnering, licensing, or commercialization opportunities. forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions as of the date of this release and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the preliminary nature of scientific findings reported in a preprint that has not undergone peer review;

MindWalk Advances AI-Designed GLP-1 Program with First-in-Class Dual-Pathway Regimen for Aging and Longevity
company builds on earlier glp-1 success with breakthrough ai-led insights into aging biology -- targeting the widely projected $60b longevity therapeutics market hyft®-driven discovery supports co-administration of mindwalk’s proprietary companion therapeutic with the company’s glp-1 receptor agonist austin, texas--(business wire)-- mindwalk holdings corp.™ (“mindwalk,” “company,” “we” or “us”) (nasdaq: hyft), a bio-native ai company, today announced a major advancement of its ai-designed glp-1 therapeutics program. new insights from the company’s lensai™ platform reveal a previously unrecognized connection between glp-1 biology and a second, non-overlapping pathway central to healthy aging and systemic resilience. the findings support a first-in-class dual-pathway regimen in which mindwalk’s proprietary companion therapeutic is co-administered with its glp-1 receptor agonists (glp-1ras) to engage both mechanisms in concert. to the company’s knowledge, no approved or marketed drugs use this regimen. the companion therapeutic is a mindwalk-exclusive asset and is not a repurposed or co-branded product. this strategic evolution builds directly on mindwalk’s earlier success designing glp-1ras entirely in silico and positions the company to address the high-growth longevity therapeutics market, widely projected to exceed $60 billion by 2030. key takeaways expansion builds directly on mindwalk’s previously announced glp-1ra success. lensai™ identifies a complementary longevity-linked pathway and guides a proprietary companion therapeutic designed to be administered alongside mindwalk’s glp-1ras. regimen is first-in-class to the company’s knowledge and engineered for preventive, chronic use. strategy aims to enhance efficacy, durability, and long-term adherence. platform enables repeatable, in silico design and optimization of combination therapeutics in high-growth markets. redefining the scope of glp-1 therapeutics with bio-native ai using hyft®, mindwalk’s patented first-principles discovery engine, lensai™ mapped conserved biological patterns that link glp-1 signaling to adaptive resilience in metabolism, inflammation balance, and cellular stress response. in parallel, lensai™ identified a complementary regulatory node—kept undisclosed while validation and protection activities proceed—that interfaces with these same longevity-relevant processes. together, these insights form the basis of a novel dual-pathway regimen designed to maintain the benefits of glp-1 while broadening impact on healthspan outcomes. unlike traditional black-box ai tools, lensai™ provides explainability, biological traceability, and full lineage tracking designed to support regulatory review of ai-informed decisions throughout discovery and development. “glp-1 drugs have already transformed diabetes and obesity care, but their potential as healthspan medicines is only beginning to be recognized,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo of mindwalk. “by applying hyft® and lensai™, we are not simply iterating on existing drugs—we are uncovering first principles that enable the design of safe, durable glp-1 analogs and a proprietary companion therapeutic that acts through a complementary longevity pathway. to our knowledge, this represents a new route in longevity medicine and a direct evolution of our earlier success, showing how our bio-native ai platform creates repeatable, high-impact programs in preventive health.” scientific foundation: a confidential, complementary longevity pathway leveraging mindwalk’s patented hyft® patterns—universal biological fingerprints that encode conserved sequence-structure-function relationships—lensai™ integrated sequence models, structural predictions, and knowledge-graph reasoning to highlight a second, non-overlapping pathway that operates alongside glp-1 in maintaining cellular robustness. while specific target details remain undisclosed, this hyft-anchored analysis indicates that coordinated engagement of both mechanisms may help sustain high-quality signaling, moderate stress responses, and reinforce metabolic balance over time—key aims for healthspan-oriented, chronic therapies. the regimen is engineered to sustain high-quality glp-1 signaling while engaging complementary resilience processes implicated in healthy aging. mindwalk has initiated intellectual-property protection around the companion therapeutic and regimen design. recent progress and forward strategy earlier this year, mindwalk reported that its ai-designed glp-1 peptides matched or exceeded semaglutide—a global market leader—in receptor activation assays. those sequences were discovered, selected, and optimized entirely in silico using lensai™, marking a major milestone in scalable, data-driven drug discovery. building on that foundation, the company is now advancing a dual-pathway program that includes: ai-optimized, long-acting glp-1 analogs for durable, patient-friendly dosing; a mindwalk-exclusive companion therapeutic directed at a longevity-linked, non-overlapping pathway for regimen-level co-administration; in silico exploration of dose, schedule, and sequence design to inform preclinical evaluation of the proprietary combination; incorporation of aging biomarkers and healthspan endpoints into discovery and preclinical prioritization; and mindwalk expects to provide updates on lead selection for the companion therapeutic, preclinical combination design parameters, and potential development paths for the regimen in the coming quarters. “this announcement reflects the scalability of mindwalk’s bio-native ai platform and its ability to address high-value therapeutic categories with speed and scientific rigor,” said dr. dirk van hyfte, cto of mindwalk bv. platform scalability: beyond a single mechanism the dual-pathway glp-1 program exemplifies the scalability and repeatability of mindwalk’s approach. the same hyft®-driven framework is being applied across additional therapeutic areas—including oncology, immunology, and vaccine design—enabling a multi-program pipeline built from a single, explainable ai foundation. mindwalk’s platform is used by leading biopharma partners and supports multi-program discovery across modalities. about mindwalk mindwalk is a bio-native ai company transforming drug discovery and development. powered by patented hyft® technology and the lensai™ platform, mindwalk unifies sequence, structure, function, and literature into a single computational language and closes the loop with an integrated, full-stack wet lab. the platform supports rapid epitope mapping, de novo molecular design, in silico vaccine exploration, and population-scale biologics analytics that help turn insights into validated candidates at speed. forward-looking statements this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable united states and canadian securities laws. forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “potential,” or similar expressions, or by statements that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “will,” “could,” or “might” occur or be achieved. these include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the company’s expansion of its glp-1 receptor agonist program toward longevity and healthspan medicine;

ImmunoPrecise Releases New Findings Showing LENSai™ Quickly Flags Anti-Drug-Antibody Risk—Long Before the Clinic
austin, texas--(business wire)-- immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“ipa” or the “company”), a bio-native ai pioneer operating where techbio meets true biological intelligence, today announced results of a newly expanded study demonstrating that its lensai™ immunogenicity screening can reliably predict anti-drug-antibody (ada) risk for therapeutic proteins before they enter animal studies or human trials. “ada-related failures still derail up to 40 percent of biologics in late development, costing companies billions of dollars,” said dr. jennifer bath, president & ceo, ipa. “with lensai, we can now triage candidates against clinical data in hours, not months, giving drug-developers a fast, objective way to de-risk programs early and focus resources on the safest molecules.” late‑stage ada failures can wipe out $1–2 billion in projected revenue for a single biologic and push launch timelines back 12‑18 months. yet many programs still lean on time‑intensive lab assays or first‑generation in‑silico screens that look only at peptide‑to‑mhc ii binding across a few dozen hla alleles—leaving large swaths of immune diversity untested and immunogenic “self/non‑self” checks largely unaddressed. lensai’s hyft‑powered, alignment‑free immunogenicity screening compresses that entire workflow into one overnight run. it evaluates nearly 900 hla variants and performs a whole‑proteome “humanness” scan at residue resolution, instantly flagging hot‑spots that legacy tools miss. by revealing design‑level fixes before expensive animal studies or repeat gmp production, the platform can shorten pre‑clinical cycles, cut material costs, and de‑risk downstream development—delivering a speed‑and‑breadth advantage unattainable with traditional methods. study highlights 217 marketed and clinical-stage antibodies analyzed – the largest public ada dataset to predict immunogenicity risk single composite score tracks clinical reality – enables reliable ada incidence risk classification; a score ≥ 54 flags high-risk candidates (> 30 % ada in patients). the discriminative capability is very powerful as indicated by an auc=0.92. alignment-free, hyft-powered engine – the proprietary screening algorithm combines state-of-the-art mhc ii binding with ipa’s proprietary hyft® patterns, enabling whole-proteome humanness assessment without multiple-sequence alignments. detailed amino acid and epitope-level immunogenicity “self” scanning – quickly pinpoints immunogenic hot-spots and suggests sequence edits before expensive wet-lab assays. read the full case study: [link] about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd.

new benchmark confirms lensai’s ability to accurately predict binding on 17 previously unseen antibody-antigen complexes, achieving near-crystallography precision without prior training data. austin, texas--(business wire)-- immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“ipa” or the “company”), an ai-powered biotherapeutics company, today announced a new validation study supporting the generalizability of its proprietary epitope mapping platform, lensai, powered by ipa’s patented hyft® technology. the newly released benchmark shows that the platform consistently delivers high predictive performance, even on complexes not used during training. “it’s generally assumed that ai can only make accurate predictions if it has seen similar data before,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo of immunoprecise. “but this benchmark proves otherwise: lensai accurately mapped antibody binding sites on entirely new antibody - protein complexes-none of which were used in training. not the antibodies. not the targets. not the complexes. and the predictions aligned with wet-lab results. this is a major breakthrough in generalizing ai for therapeutic discovery, made possible by our proprietary technology, which captures functional meaning instead of memorizing shapes. it shows that ai doesn’t always need massive data to be powerful and accurate - it just needs the right kind.” lensai epitope mapping uses artificial intelligence to pinpoint where antibodies are most likely to attach to disease-related proteins - helping scientists design better treatments faster. unlike traditional methods that take months and require lab work, lensai delivers results in hours - using just the digital sequences - cutting timelines, eliminating the need to produce expensive materials, reducing guesswork, and unlocking faster paths to new treatments. in a new benchmark study, lensai was tested on 30 antibody-protein pairs, 17 of which the platform had never seen before. despite having no prior exposure to these molecules, lensai achieved prediction scores nearly identical to those from its original training data. this score, known as auc (area under the curve), is a widely accepted measure of accuracy in computational biology. the consistent performance on entirely new, unseen complexes confirms that lensai’s artificial intelligence can reliably analyze and predict antibody binding - even for molecules outside its training set. this breakthrough demonstrates lensai’s power to generalize across diverse biological structures, making it a valuable tool for accelerating real-world drug discovery. why this benchmark matters in the new study, lensai delivered high accuracy results on 17 antibody-protein complexes the platform had never seen before as it did on familiar training examples - proving true generalization, not memorization. because no new wet-lab work or x-ray structures were required, researchers gain speed, reproducibility, and major cost savings, while freeing scarce lab resources for confirmatory or downstream assays. what it means for partners and investors with lensai already embedded in collaborations across big pharma and biotech, immunoprecise is scaling access through secure apis and custom partnerships. the platform helps researchers compress discovery timelines, reduce risk, and unlock previously unreachable targets - positioning the company and its investors at the forefront of ai-driven antibody therapeutics. for more technical detail and full benchmark results, explore two complementary case studies that illustrate the power and flexibility of lensai epitope mapping. the first highlights performance on a “seen” target, where the system was trained on related data. the second - featured in this press release - demonstrates lensai’s breakthrough ability to accurately map binding sites on a completely “unseen” target, with no prior exposure to the antibody, the antigen, or their structure. new case study:lensai epitope mapping on an “unseen” target[ link] previous case study:head-to-head benchmark on a “seen” target[ link] these examples underscore how lensai performs both in well-characterized systems and in novel, previously untrained scenarios—validating its generalizability and real-world readiness. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise (nasdaq: ipa) is a global leader in ai-powered biotherapeutic discovery and development. its proprietary hyft technology and lensai™ platform enable first-principles-based drug design, delivering validated therapeutic candidates across modalities and therapeutic areas. ipa partners with 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and is advancing next-generation biologics through data-driven, human-relevant models. forward-looking statements this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable united states and canadian securities laws. forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” or similar expressions, or by statements that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “will,” “could,” or “might” occur or be achieved. these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the performance, scalability, and broader application of the lensai™ and hyft® platforms; the generalizability of the company’s ai models to novel therapeutic targets; the role of ai in accelerating antibody discovery; and the company’s future scientific, commercial, and strategic developments. forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, and projections about future events. actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control. these factors include, but are not limited to, the pace of scientific and technological innovation, risks related to model validation and generalizability in real-world settings, intellectual property protection, strategic partner adoption, regulatory pathways, and market demand for ai-driven therapeutic platforms. forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein. additional information regarding risks and uncertainties is included in the company’s annual report on form 20-f, as amended, for the year ended april 30, 2024 (available on the company’s sedar+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and edgar profile at www.sec.gov/edgar). should any of these risks materialize, actual results could vary significantly from those currently anticipated. readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. except as required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. investor relations contact louie toma managing director, core ir investors@ipatherapeutics.com source: immunoprecise antibodies ltd.

follow-up to june 5, 2025, announcement demonstrates validated vaccine candidate with strong translational potential austin, texas--(business wire)-- immunoprecise (nasdaq: ipa), a leader in ai-driven biotherapeutics, provides a significant update following its june 5, 2025, press release immunoprecise announces ai-driven breakthrough in universal dengue vaccine discovery. this new release details the downstream validation of the epitope identified in that initial announcement—demonstrating that the computationally selected vaccine target is not only highly conserved across all four dengue virus types but also safe, immunologically active, and structurally stable. “this is a major step forward,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo of immunoprecise. “our ai technology not only found a new target for a universal dengue vaccine, but we’ve now shown it’s safe and can trigger the right immune response. with this validation, we’re excited to move ahead and advance this candidate toward the next stages of vaccine development.” following the recent discovery of a unique “achilles’ heel” shared by all four types of dengue virus, immunoprecise has confirmed—using its patented hyft technology and lensai immunogenicity screener—that the selected target not only remains conserved but also triggers a strong and specific immune response. this breakthrough may pave the way for a safer, more universal dengue vaccine. the new target was discovered using the company’s proprietary lensai platform. “our ability to move from computational discovery to ai-guided immunogenicity validation is unique to our methodology and drug development,” commented dr. jennifer bath, immunoprecise ceo. “further, it ensures that our candidates are both theoretically promising and primed for real-world immune protection, a critical requirement for any viable vaccine candidate.” for decades, dengue has been one of the most challenging viruses for vaccine developers, largely because the virus comes in four different forms—and beating one doesn’t guarantee protection from the others. many vaccines fail because they trigger the immune system to attack the wrong parts of the virus, or worse, make infections more severe. what makes this development so important is that immunoprecise’s target has now been shown—based on in silico immune profiling—to likely engage key components of the immune system, including both b cells and t cells, in a manner that appears safe and highly specific. immunoprecise’s latest ai-driven testing shows that their selected target—a small, stable piece of the virus—can activate the body’s defenses in a very precise way, without the risks of traditional, broader approaches. a methodology that changes the game—far beyond dengue what sets immunoprecise apart is not only the discovery of a promising dengue vaccine target, but the methodology itself. with lensai powered by hyft technology, ipa brings unprecedented clarity to the earliest stages of discovery—well before traditional disease modeling or animal studies even begin. by revealing deep relationships between sequence, structure, and function at the outset, this platform provides rapid, explainable insights that inform every downstream decision, from epitope selection to vaccine design. the findings for dengue showcase the platform’s versatility. because hyft technology systematically maps biological meaning across the entire biosphere, this methodology is readily transferable—equipping ipa to tackle a wide spectrum of infectious diseases, from hiv and influenza to emerging pathogens and oncology targets. with this approach, immunoprecise isn’t just keeping pace with the field; it’s setting a new standard for how next-generation therapeutics are discovered and validated. immunoprecise's patented hyft technology successfully identified a critical and discontiguous target site (epitope) that remains unchanged across all four types of dengue virus (denv-1 through denv-4). this target site is essential for how the virus infects cells and is believed to be key for establishing an enduring and efficacious universal dengue vaccine. this hyft-guided workflow achieves this by analyzing protein building blocks that may be far apart in the virus's genetic sequence but come together when the protein folds into its final 3d shape. this advanced mapping process combines genetic similarity analysis with 3d structural modeling and functional annotation to identify the most promising vaccine targets. key technical findings complete immune response testing computer-based immune response screening used advanced prediction tools to evaluate how both antibody-producing cells (b cells) and infection-fighting cells (t cells) would respond to the vaccine target. the target site showed strong predicted binding to multiple human immune system markers (hla class i and ii types). this suggests that people from diverse backgrounds and genetic makeups could mount a strong immune response to the vaccine—something essential for global deployment. safety verification against human proteins using immunoprecise's proprietary retrieve-and-relate technology at the core of hyft™ ( van hyfte et al., 2023, biorxiv), the vaccine target was thoroughly compared against all known human and mouse proteins. this comprehensive safety check goes beyond standard comparison methods—hyft systematically searches for not only genetic similarities but also structural and functional matches across species, ensuring the vaccine target is unique to the virus and not found in human biology. this is critical in vaccine development, where off-target effects can lead to dangerous autoimmune reactions. no problematic similarities were found, significantly reducing the risk that the vaccine would accidentally attack the body's own healthy cells. structural stability analysis advanced computer modeling and molecular simulation studies have confirmed that the vaccine target maintains its proper shape, remains accessible to immune cells, and remains prominently displayed on the surface of the dengue virus. stability testing demonstrated that the target remains robust under normal physiological conditions. balanced immune response profile importantly, the moderate predicted immune response strength (compared to typical vaccine 'hotspots') may explain why this target was overlooked in previous laboratory studies that focused on more obvious, highly immunogenic sites. this balanced profile suggests the vaccine could trigger a highly specific immune response while potentially reducing the risk of dangerous immune overreactions or antibody-dependent enhancement (ade)—a serious complication that can worsen dengue infection. looking ahead this release is the second in a series of disclosures aimed at showcasing the power of immunoprecise’s end-to-end ai-native platform. the june 5th announcement introduced a promising target; today’s release provides the crucial next step: a rigorous validation of that target’s safety and immunological relevance. this validation significantly strengthens the translational potential of the candidate, which is currently being prepared for further preclinical evaluation. these findings come at an important time, as global agencies continue to seek safer and more effective dengue vaccines. ipa is actively engaging with key stakeholders to explore the path forward, including potential collaboration, development, and funding partnerships. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise (nasdaq: ipa) is a global leader in ai-powered biotherapeutic discovery and development. its proprietary hyft technology and lensai™ platform enable first-principles-based drug design, delivering validated therapeutic candidates across modalities and therapeutic areas. ipa partners with 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and is advancing next-generation biologics through data-driven, human-relevant models. forward-looking statements this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable united states and canadian securities laws. forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” or similar expressions, or by statements that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “will,” “could,” or “might” occur or be achieved. these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the anticipated benefits, scalability, and broader application of the lensai™ and hyft® platforms to dengue vaccine development;

AI-Designed GLP-1 Peptides from ImmunoPrecise Antibodies Surpass Semaglutide in Receptor Activation Studies
breakthrough in ai-powered drug discovery validates hyft™-driven peptide design, with broad potential across multiple therapeutic areas austin, texas--(business wire)-- immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa), a leader in ai-powered drug discovery and biotherapeutics, today announced compelling in vitro results demonstrating that its artificial intelligence (ai)-designed glp-1 receptor agonist (glp-1ra) peptide sequences achieve comparable or superior receptor activation to semaglutide, a benchmark glp-1 therapy and one of the most commercially successful drugs in the world. the in vitro analysis was conducted by an independent third party, further strengthening the objectivity and reliability of the findings. the results validate the power of ipa’s lensai™ platform and its proprietary hyft™ technology, which enables first-principles-based in silico peptide discovery and optimization. five rationally engineered peptide sequences—ai-optimized for improved stability and peptidase resistance—were tested against benchmark glp-1 analogs in receptor activation assays. two lead candidates outperformed or matched semaglutide under controlled assay conditions. crucially, the sequences were not discovered by chance. they were designed using hyft-derived intrinsic biological patterns—mathematical representations of functional relationships in biology—making this approach highly reproducible and generalizable to other drug targets. with glp-1 therapies representing one of the fastest-growing segments in the global pharmaceutical market, these results demonstrate that ai can now generate not only predictive but functionally validated peptide drugs, paving the way for rapid expansion into adjacent therapeutic areas using the same hyft-driven approach. “this is not a one-off success,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo of immunoprecise. “we’ve demonstrated a scalable, first-principles mechanism to design potent, stable, and biologically active peptide therapeutics. hyft-guided design unlocks repeatable workflows for other validated targets—whether in cardiometabolic disease, oncology, or infectious disease. it represents a foundational shift in how therapeutics are discovered. the same lensai-driven approach has already transformed our vaccine and antibody discovery programs, and we are now applying that rinse-and-repeat methodology to metabolic diseases—starting with glp-1.” ipa is now considering two complementary preclinical paths for its lead glp-1 candidates: injectable delivery studies, including pharmacokinetic profiling and efficacy validation in animal models. non-invasive delivery strategies, including formulation work for transdermal patches and exploratory evaluation of nucleic acid-based delivery, designed to enhance durability, patient compliance, and ease of administration. the sequences were also engineered for compatibility with next-generation expression systems, including nucleic acid-based vectors, which support scalable expression in both traditional and emerging human-relevant models, aligning with evolving regulatory interest in more predictive, flexible, and efficient therapeutic development approaches. the significance of this breakthrough extends far beyond glp-1. the same ai framework and hyft-driven approach that generated these potent peptide drugs can now be applied to other high-value therapeutic targets—quickly, efficiently, and with built-in biological relevance. this announcement follows ipa’s recent success with ai-designed dengue virus vaccine candidates, reinforcing the broad applicability of its technology across both infectious and non-infectious diseases. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise (nasdaq: ipa) is a global leader in ai-powered biotherapeutic discovery and development. its proprietary hyft™ technology and lensai™ platform enable first-principles-based drug design, delivering validated therapeutic candidates across modalities and therapeutic areas. ipa partners with 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies and is advancing next-generation biologics through data-driven, human-relevant models. forward-looking statements this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable united states and canadian securities laws. forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” or similar expressions, or statements that certain actions, events, or results “may,” “will,” “could,” or “might” occur or be achieved. these statements include, but are not limited to, those related to the anticipated benefits, scalability, translatability, adoption, and broader application of the lensai™ and hyft® platforms;

lensai™ powered by hyft® technology identifies a single multi-factorial target conserved across all dengue serotypes. austin, texas - immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (ipa) (nasdaq:ipa) a leader in ai-driven biotherapeutics, announces discovery of a highly conserved epitope across all four dengue virus serotypes using its proprietary lensai™ platform powered by their patented hyft® technology. this discovery, made using several proprietary hyft-based analyses, identifies a part of the virus (an epitope) that has remained unmutated across all four known virus serotypes, therefore potentially allowing an epitope-based vaccine to target and activate the immune system to eliminate the virus. this discovery marks a major milestone toward the development of a potential universal dengue vaccine and validates the company’s newly launched, hyft pattern-patented ai-native vaccine discovery engine. dr. jennifer bath, immunoprecise antibodies ceo commented, “this breakthrough highlights a new frontier in ai-driven biology—where discovery is rooted in the biology of a virus itself. by confirming that our sequence-derived patented hyft patterns match structural signatures across all dengue serotypes, we’re setting the stage for a universal vaccine design framework. ultimately, this research validates a persistent target that may allow doctors to home in on a signal to eliminate the virus regardless of mutations that may have occurred. more importantly, the implications appear to stretch far beyond the dengue virus. this is a foundation that research indicates can now be applied to many other infectious diseases and potentially even certain types of cancer.” building on this success in dengue, ipa now intends to extend its ai-driven vaccine design platform to other high-impact infectious diseases, for example, hiv, norovirus, and an improved rsv vaccine. early-stage assessments are also underway to explore the platform’s application in oncology for neoantigen vaccine development and tumor-specific epitope mapping. this discovery underscores ipa’s commitment to advancing drug discovery through innovative, human-relevant ai technologies that align with evolving industry standards. using hyft’s patented ability to map biologically meaningful sub-sequence patterns across the entire biosphere, the company’s proprietary lensai platform identified a unique epitope shared across all four serotypes of the dengue virus—denv-1, denv-2, denv-3, and denv-4. these serotypes are distinct versions of the virus that circulate globally, and because infection with one does not protect against the others, identifying a common target is a critical step toward developing a broadly protective dengue vaccine. unlike traditional trial-and-error methods, ipa’s discovery was achieved entirely in silico, demonstrating the platform’s power to translate complex biological data into actionable vaccine design. breaking the dengue barrier: patented hyft-powered ai achieves what decades of science could not why has a universal dengue vaccine been so elusive? dengue is not just one virus—it’s four distinct, rapidly-evolving serotypes. immunity to one does not guarantee protection from the others, and prior infection can even make subsequent disease worse. for decades, vaccine researchers have struggled to find a viral component that is both exposed and truly conserved across all four types—a challenge compounded by the virus’s rapid mutation and complex immune interactions. traditional methods, whether experimental or computational, have repeatedly fallen short, unable to fully bridge the gap between sequence, structure, and function at a meaningful scale. confirmed breakthrough: sequence and structural hyft match across all four serotypes ipa’s discovery is a landmark moment in computational vaccinology. using its proprietary lensai™ platform powered by their patented hyft® technology, the company has identified a strictly conserved epitope across all four dengue virus serotypes—a viral signature that remains unchanged despite mutations and serotype variation, and that can be targeted to trigger the immune system in efforts to eliminate the virus. this achievement marks a critical milestone in the quest for a universal dengue vaccine. what sets this apart is the depth of validation: · patented hyft patterns, derived based on the conservation of sequence data. were independently confirmed to match corresponding structural hyfts across all four dengue serotypes. · this was made possible through lensai’s integration of over 20 million proprietary structural hyfts (s-hyfts), enabling the platform to overlay three-dimensional conformations onto sequence-level, biology-native fingerprints. · the validation demonstrates that lensai doesn’t simply identify linear motifs—it can infer conformational and functional structures from sequence data alone, bypassing the need for time-consuming experimental techniques like crystallography or cryo-em. this milestone affirms the patented hyft technology’s unique ability to traverse the full biological hierarchy—from dna/rna sequence to molecular structure to therapeutic relevance. it signals that ai-native models, rooted in biology-first principles, can now deliver actionable insights previously achievable only through years of wet-lab research. the end-to-end lensai platform integrates patented hyft® universal fingerprints with deep learning, structural predictions, and literature-mined knowledge graphs to rapidly identify and refine candidate epitopes—without requiring lab-based inputs. the result: full immunogen design and in silico immunogenicity screening, dramatically reducing the time and cost of early-stage vaccine development and unlocking new opportunities to tackle even the most complex viral challenges. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. is a techbio company that leverages multi-omics modeling and complex artificial intelligence through a series of proprietary and patented technologies. the company owns an integrated end-to-end suite of capabilities to support the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies and is known for solving complex industry challenges. ipa 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.

austin, texas--(business wire)-- immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (ipa) (nasdaq:ipa) a leader in ai-driven biotherapeutics, is pleased to announce today new benchmarking results that validate the accuracy and utility of its in silico epitope mapping application, part of the lensai™ platform, with a direct comparison to gold-standard wet-lab methods. the results represent a notable advancement in computational biology, particularly in the field of antibody discovery, where high failure rates and costly, time-intensive experiments remain common industry challenges. lensai’s ai-powered platform was able to match the performance of x-ray crystallography—the industry’s most precise but slowest and most expensive method—using sequence data alone. "in an industry where over 95% of drug candidates fail before reaching the clinic, accelerating decisions earlier in the discovery pipeline isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity," said dr. jennifer bath, ceo of ipa. "with lensai, we’re demonstrating that ai is designed to deliver accurate, scalable, and human-relevant biological predictions that were previously only accessible through months of experimental work." in the benchmarking study, lensai’s in silico epitope mapping application was tested across five known antibody-antigen pairs and against multiple experimental techniques, including hdx-ms, alanine scanning, and x-ray crystallography. the ai system produced predictive scores (auc 0.79–0.89) comparable to or exceeding those achieved by leading wet-lab methods, while reducing turnaround time from weeks to hours. epitope mapping is a cornerstone of antibody development, informing everything from ip strategy to candidate selection. traditionally, this requires expensive, time-consuming lab work using scarce protein samples. lensai transforms this by delivering early-stage epitope insights from sequence alone, reducing both cost and risk. this breakthrough aligns with growing regulatory and industry momentum around new approach methodologies (nams), including the fda’s recent decision to phase out animal testing requirements for biologics. by eliminating the need for physical materials and enabling near–x-ray-level precision, lensai advances ethical, scalable, and high-resolution approaches to biotherapeutic discovery we view this achievement as a meaningful advancement that enhances the capabilities of drug discovery platforms" added dr. bath. "lensai is now capable of providing pharma and biotech partners with validated, in silico answers to questions that once required months of wet-lab commitment." this latest achievement marks a major step in the broader development of lensai, ipa’s ai-driven discovery platform. building on previous releases, including in silico antibody engineering, epitope prediction, and multi-omics integration, lensai continues to demonstrate its ability to deliver high-resolution, scalable insights across key stages of biotherapeutic discovery. today’s advancement in epitope mapping reflects the growing power of the platform we have been strategically building — connecting sequence-based precision, accelerated timelines, and deep scientific insight to transform the future of therapeutic development. to read the full case study: lensai epitope mapping matches x-ray crystallography about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. is a techbio company that leverages multi-omics modeling and complex artificial intelligence through a series of proprietary and patented technologies. the company owns an integrated end-to-end suite of capabilities to support the discovery and development of therapeutic antibodies and is known for solving complex industry challenges. ipa 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.

BioStrand® Unveils a Revolutionary Approach to Biological Sequence Retrieval: A Fusion of Natural Language Processing and Database Research
victoria, british columbia--(business wire)-- immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“immunoprecise” or “ipa” or the “company”), a leader in ai-driven biotherapeutic research and technology, is thrilled to announce that its subsidiary, biostrand®, has published a preprint of its groundbreaking white paper titled, "new paradigm for biological sequence retrieval inspired by natural language processing and database research" on biorχiv. the publication delves into the intricacies of one of biostrand’s applications based on its patented hyft-based methodology, a novel and proprietary approach to biological sequence retrieval, and its clear advantages over the gold standard algorithm, basic local alignment search tool “blast”. by detailing their innovative approach and its potential implications for the scientific community, biostrand aims to foster collaboration and drive innovation in the realm of bioinformatics. key highlights from the white paper: introduction to hyft patterns: the paper introduces hyft patterns as unique signature sequences, akin to biological fingerprints, found in amino acids, dna, and rna. these patterns serve as a tool to tokenize and harmonize all biological data into a unified omics language. parsing and indexing with hyfts: the paper details the two-step process of parsing biological sequences to retrieve hyft patterns and then indexing them. this approach prioritizes non-overlapping hyfts with lower ranks, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the sequence. benchmarking results: a comparative study between blast and the hyft methodology revealed that while blast excels in retrieving distant homologous sequences, hyft is particularly relevant for higher identity matches. dirk van hyfte, md, phd, co-founder and head of innovation of biostrand, remarked, "the publication of our research on biorxiv.org is not just a milestone for biostrand, but a significant contribution to the bioinformatics community. we believe, given the ever-increasing availability of sequence data, our hyft-based sequence similarity search methodology offers the scalability needed in this era of big data without losing precision, and we eagerly anticipate the discourse and collaboration it will inspire." lensai: the next-generation advanced ai platform recently, biostrand successfully rolled out its next-generation unified knowledge graph-large language model (llm) framework for holistic life sciences research. at the core of their lensai platform is a comprehensive and continuously expanding knowledge graph that maps a remarkable 25 billion relationships across 660 million data objects, linking sequence, structure, function, and literature information from the entire biosphere. their first-in-class technology provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between genes, proteins, structures, and biological pathways, thereby opening powerful new opportunities for drug discovery and development. the platform leverages the latest advances in ontology-driven nlp and ai-driven llms to connect and correlate syntax (multi-modal sequential and structural data) and semantics (biological functions). biostrand’s unified approach to biomedical knowledge graphs, retrieval augmented generation (rag) models, and llms combines the reasoning capabilities of llms, the semantic proficiency of knowledge graphs, and the versatile information retrieval capabilities of rag, to streamline the integration, exploration, and analysis of biomedical data, potentially unlocking a realm of uncharted possibilities. 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.
