Discovery + Development

Unlocking the potential of membrane proteins.

Abilita Therapeutics is a discovery and development company drugging the most challenging targets in medicine — multi-span membrane proteins long considered intractable — through directed evolution and AI-guided design.

Why this matters

The most validated drug targets in medicine remain largely untapped.

Multi-span membrane proteins represent 60% of approved drug targets — yet only 15% of the more than 2,000 in the human proteome have ever been successfully drugged. Abilita's EMP™ platform turns the rest into tractable substrates for small-molecule, antibody, and ADC discovery.

Pipeline

Six programs. First-in-class targets.

Six programs spanning oncology and metabolic disease. Internal small molecules and antibodies on first-in-class targets; partnered campaigns with global pharma. Every program is built on an EMP-stabilised receptor.

EMP™ technology

Stabilising intractable targets.

At the core of Abilita is EMP™ — Enabled Membrane Protein technology — a directed-evolution approach that stabilises intractable receptors in defined active or inactive states. The result is a protein you can actually screen against, structure, and design drugs for.

How EMP works
AI/ML embedded

Lab in the loop. Human in the loop.

AI/ML is embedded across the EMP™ discovery engine. Proprietary datasets generated by the platform feed task-specific models — including our internal StabLyzeGraph tool, co-developed with the Cosconati Lab — that guide design, ranking, and experimental planning. Lab in the loop, human in the loop.

Selected partnerships

Collaborations with Lilly, Amgen, BMS, GSK, Regeneron, and Orion validate EMP™ across antibody and small-molecule discovery against historically undruggable targets.
