Speaker: Alon Wellner, PhD. VP of Biology, Aureka Biotechnologies
Bio: Alon Wellner is the Vice President of Biology at Aureka Biotechnologies, leading a team to develop a cutting-edge therapeutic discovery pipeline using high-throughput biology and AI. He completed postdoctoral training at UC Irvine and holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Weizmann Institute of Science. With extensive experience in protein and antibody engineering, Alon has held multiple leadership roles, managing multinational research teams and pioneering novel drug discovery platforms.
Abstract:
Traditional antibody generation is often slow and costly. AuraQuest™ utilizes yeast surface display and autonomous hypermutation to mimic animal immunization, enabling rapid antibody discovery. Combined with the AI platform AuraPicasso™, this approach accelerates the engineering of antibodies with specific characteristics. This method has effectively targeted challenging antigens like GPCRs, demonstrating potent nanobody isolation within two weeks through affinity maturation using yeast culturing and FACS.
