Engineer Perfect Antibodies at the Speed of AI

Founded in London. Connecting AI design, automated wet-lab testing and cryo-EM to advance antibody programmes in the UK and beyond.

How it works

AI design, wet-lab, and cryo-EM — one closed loop.

Each campaign sharpens the next. Generative design feeds the auto-lab; the auto-lab feeds cryo-EM; cryo-EM feeds the model.

Founded at UCL. Built for global discovery.

abYcloud began with three UCL researchers and a shared question: how can we make antibody discovery more rigorous and accessible? Our UK company connects methods research in London with automated wet-lab and structural validation capabilities in Shanghai and Suzhou, and international partnerships in Hong Kong. For UK biotech, pharma and academic teams, that means one connected workflow from a target to experimentally informed antibody candidates.

“Trade the execution, not just the idea.”

Research roots. Practical partnerships.

  • UK biotech collaboration

    An embedded antibody-engineering function for UK biotech: sequence mining, structure-informed design and experimental feedback, with optimisation rounds reported at roughly three weeks across multiple campaigns.

  • Academic and clinical research

    Academic connections at UCL, Imperial College London and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, alongside a clinical-translational pilot with a major Hong Kong university hospital.

  • London innovation network

    Featured by the UCL Centre for Digital Innovation and selected for the 2025 P4 Precision Medicine Accelerator cohort, connecting research with therapeutic development.

UK research, connected to experimental evidence

London methods research connects to our automated lab and structural biology network. Antibody designs are tested, measured and returned to the model so each programme can build on experimental evidence.
