LabGenius, a pioneer in the use of machine learning (ML) for antibody-based drug discovery, today announced that it has been awarded a highly competitive Biomedical Catalyst (BMC) grant from Innovate UK.

LabGenius is pioneering the development of an ML-driven protein engineering platform (EVA™). To date, EVA has co-optimised mono- and multi-specific single domain antibodies for biochemical and biofunctional properties, including stability, potency and selective tumour cell killing.
There are many different types of solid tumours that would benefit from highly selective immunotherapy treatments. This grant will be used to support the development of LabGenius’ pipeline of antibody therapeutics by financing the discovery of best-in-class immune cell engager molecules with favourable selective killing profiles. To do this, LabGenius will use its platform technology to intelligently guide the search for protein designs that perform across multiple therapeutically valuable properties.
“We’re truly delighted with this result” said LabGenius’ CEO and Founder, Dr. James Field. “This grant will enhance LabGenius’ ability to optimise an important class of immunotherapeutics and help us to accelerate drug candidates towards the clinic.”
Speaking to LabGenius’ success, Chairman of LabGenius’ Board and former CEO of Ablynx, Dr. Edwin Moses commented “This is a great win for LabGenius as it further validates their ML-driven approach to antibody discovery. With this backing, the team can further expand their efforts to build a strong pipeline of molecules that would not have been identified through rational human design alone.”

Duco, today launched the first agentic Operations platform for financial services. Built on the engine that already processes 20 billion transactions every month for more than 200 clients, including seven of the top 20 banks and ten of the top 20 asset managers, the platform brings together everything firms need to run post-trade Operations alongside autonomous agents, safely and at scale. The launch establishes a breakthrough the industry has been waiting for. A tool surface, purpose-built for agents. Duco has unbundled its platform into a new alternative agent layer that reconfigures its platform into hundreds of discrete capabilities servicing post trade. Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives capabilities covering reconciliation, data preparation, data access, audit trails, exception management, document creation and more. For the first time, agents have a verified, deterministic toolset built specifically for post-trade. Agents do not replace matching, rules or audit; they use them. P
