FROM PREDICTED BEHAVIOR TO MEASURED PERFORMANCE

Put experimental evidence behind your next decision

AI can expand the range of candidates you explore. Experimental evidence helps determine which deserve to move forward. Avance builds analytical programs around the attributes, activities, and development questions that matter to your therapeutic.

Test your predictions

Measure the molecular attributes and biological responses that matter to your program. Use high-throughput analytical methods to investigate whether experimental results support the predicted behavior.

Generate data for your next iteration

Build experimental datasets around defined hypotheses, candidate sets, and endpoints. Agree on controls, replicates, metadata, and reporting formats before testing begins.

Advance your selected candidates

Extend analytical support into assay qualification and validation, preclinical and clinical sample testing, and CMC characterization as your program progresses.

Use experimental data to refine your AI model

Return structured, traceable results to your modeling team. Defined controls, replicates, and metadata allow the data to be used for model training, validation, and the next round of candidate design.

SUPPORT ACROSS ADVANCED MODALITIES

Analytical depth at high throughput

A COLLABORATIVE EXPERIMENTAL WORKFLOW

Build the testing program around your design cycle

Start with a focused analytical question or plan a recurring series of experiments. Establish the scope and data requirements before scaling the work.

Define the objectives

Share your modality, candidate set, predicted attributes, and the question the next experiment must answer. Agree on endpoints, sample requirements, and data needs.

Establish the assay

Develop or adapt methods, select controls, and assess assay performance. Set acceptance criteria appropriate to the intended use.

Generate the evidence

Test candidates or study samples using the agreed workflow, with sample tracking and documented quality checks.

Return results & plan the next round

Review findings with Avance scientists. Use the agreed data package to rank candidates, investigate unexpected results, or inform your team’s next design cycle.
