Synthetic Yeast Display Antibody Discovery CRO

Yeast Display Antibody Discovery from Synthetic Drug-Like Libraries

DuneX Biosciences helps biotech teams discover and optimize scFv and VHH binders from synthetic, drug-discovery-oriented yeast display libraries, using FACS-based selection, sequence recovery, clone ranking, and practical next-step recommendations.

Synthetic Library Engine

Built on synthetic libraries designed for discovery quality

DuneX yeast display campaigns use synthetic scFv and VHH library designs built to explore broad sequence space while preserving antibody-like framework behavior. The result is a practical path to diverse binders, sequence-verified panels, and follow-on optimization.

Synthetic diversityDrug-like frameworksFACS-selectable displaySequence-verified outputs

Synthetic Diversity

Defined sequence variation across binding loops for broad epitope exploration.

Drug-Like Frameworks

Human scFv and compact VHH formats selected for practical downstream discovery paths.

FACS-Selectable Display

Expression and binding signals can be monitored round by round under tunable stringency.

Sequence-Verified Outputs

Recovered clones are ranked with sequence identity, enrichment behavior, and recommended next steps.

What We Do

Antibody discovery services built around synthetic yeast display libraries

Choose human scFv for standard antibody workflows, VHH for compact formats and difficult epitopes, or evolve existing hits using focused diversification and high-stringency selection.

Why Yeast Display

Why yeast display strengthens antibody discovery programs

Yeast display gives teams controlled selection pressure, synthetic library diversity, recoverable sequences, and practical decision data for large-scale antibody discovery.

Quantitative selection pressure visual

Quantitative Selection Pressure

FACS enables controlled antigen concentration, expression-aware gating, and round-by-round monitoring.

Recoverable antibody sequence visual

Recoverable Sequences

Binding phenotype is linked to clone identity for fast ranking and follow-up.

Flexible yeast display stringency visual

Flexible Stringency

Equilibrium, off-rate, and competitive selection modes can be tuned by campaign goal.

Synthetic antibody library control visual

Synthetic Library Control

Defined library design supports reproducible campaign logic and cleaner interpretation than uncontrolled starting repertoires.

FAQ

Common questions

What targets can DuneX support?

Programs can be scoped around purified proteins, Fc fusions, bead-coupled targets, and suitable cell-surface targets depending on antigen format and detection strategy.

Do you offer both human scFv and VHH discovery?

Yes. DuneX-Nova supports human scFv discovery, while DuneX-Nano supports compact VHH / nanobody discovery. Parallel campaigns can be considered when epitope diversity is critical.

How are projects handled?

Each campaign is scoped with clear milestones, defined deliverables, and client-facing reporting. For specialized downstream characterization, DuneX can coordinate suitable follow-on paths depending on project needs.

What is a typical project timeline?

Focused discovery campaigns typically reach clone ranking within 3-6 weeks when antigen readiness, labeling strategy, and assay conditions are aligned.

What do you mean by synthetic drug-like libraries?

"Drug-like" refers to discovery-oriented design logic and downstream development awareness, not GMP or clinical-grade manufacturing.

Can DuneX improve an existing antibody hit?

Yes. DuneX-Evolve affinity maturation campaigns use focused diversification and high-stringency selection to improve binding behavior while monitoring expression and specificity.
