OmniAb, Inc. is an American biotechnology firm focused on pioneering therapeutic antibody discovery. The company provides a sophisticated platform that allows its industry partners to access a broad spectrum of antibody repertoires and advanced screening techniques, thereby facilitating the development of next-generation treatments.
