Therapeutics designed from first principles.

A physics-grounded platform for the design and optimization of antibodies and small molecules — built for decision-quality science.

Physician-led Patent-protected First-principles

01 Approach

A different kind of computational biology.

ab initium is a physician-led biotechnology company. Our platform is built on a patent-protected mathematical and logical framework that treats molecular design as transparent, reproducible methods — not as black-box pattern matching.

Every candidate we produce is computed from physics and scored against the same first principles — fully traceable, end to end. We work across modalities, from de novo design to refinement of existing leads, in partnership with pharmaceutical and biotech sponsors.

Method
Deterministic, bounded compute.
Output
Ensemble statistics with auditable provenance.
IP
Patent-protected. Reproducible by design.
Computed binding pose of a candidate small molecule in an antibody combining site.
Platform output

A candidate, computed and scored from physics.

Heavy-chain framework (blue) and light-chain framework (green) cradle the combining site. Contact residues identified by the platform crowd the small-molecule pose at center — generated, ranked, and audited within a single deterministic pipeline.

02 Capabilities

Three integrated workflows, one platform.

01 / Design

De novo candidate generation

Generate new antibody and small-molecule candidates against defined targets, grounded in mechanistic physics rather than learned correlations.

02 / Optimize

Lead refinement & affinity tuning

Refine existing leads for affinity, selectivity, developability, and manufacturability with transparent, reproducible trade-offs.

03 / Validate

Decision-quality scoring

Physics-grounded scoring with auditable provenance, gating candidates on safety, specificity, and reproducibility before resources commit.
