Apheris and Ginkgo Launch Antibody Developability Consortium
Berlin-based Apheris and Ginkgo Bioworks' Ginkgo Datapoints have launched the Antibody Developability Consortium, an industry collaboration to build the largest standardized antibody developability dataset. Founding members include AbbVie, argenx, Lundbeck, and Takeda, who will contribute proprietary antibody sequences. The consortium aims to train AI models on 10,000 antibodies using Apheris's federated data infrastructure, which allows members to train and refine models without exposing proprietary data. Ginkgo Datapoints will lead scientific design and execution, while Apheris provides the secure environment for model training. The initial dataset is expected by early 2027. This initiative addresses the lack of large, standardized datasets for predicting antibody manufacturability and developability, potentially reducing development time and costs for pharmaceutical companies.
Consumer Healthcare Brands Embrace CPG Media Strategies
Consumer healthcare brands are increasingly adopting CPG-style media strategies to adapt to shifting consumer behavior and regulatory changes favoring OTC drugs. OTC sales rose to $58.2 billion in 2025, and the FDA has signaled openness to more prescription-to-OTC switches. Opella, spun out of Sanofi, exemplifies this trend, investing heavily in retail media, creator marketing, paid social, and search, with 60% of media investments now in digital channels. The company has built an 85-person in-house team using generative AI for creative production and brought programmatic and search in-house to boost ROI. Other companies like Kenvue and Hims & Hers are also adopting similar approaches. The shift brings challenges, including navigating retail media frictions and balancing long-term brand building with measurable performance, a balancing act CPG marketers already struggle with. AI search is also emerging as a key gateway to health information, requiring brands to monitor LLM citations.
