Using our AI-driven optimization engine Epistra Accelerate, integrated into the media optimization support software CellTune, we improved the composition of feed media for antibody production. As a result, we discovered a composition that increased antibody yield by approximately 40% compared to the baseline.
We conducted assay optimization for drug screening. Conditions discovered by Epistra Accelerate outperformed both the pre-optimization baseline (by 46%) and those found by human researchers (by 12%). In addition, AI-driven optimization completed in 2.5 months—reducing the R&D period by 44% compared to human-led efforts (4.5 months).
We developed a high-performance cryopreservation reagent for cell therapy applications. Compared to commercially available alternatives, our optimized formulation increased cell recovery yield by 133% and enhanced cell functionality by 40%. It also demonstrated strong robustness to temperature and concentration variations while avoiding existing IP constraints.
Media costs for pharmaceutical manufacturing can be significant. By maintaining comparable performance while minimizing raw material cost, we reduced total media costs by 70%—resulting in estimated annual savings of over 400 million JPY.
Using Epistra Accelerate, we optimized MSC culture media to achieve higher proliferative performance while reducing raw material costs. All developed media are Animal-Origin-Free (AOF), containing no animal- or human-derived components.
