    At Abiologics, we are leveraging a variety of computational design tools to create protein-inspired molecules that exist in a class of their own – Synteins™. While Synteins™ reflect protein structures from nature, their computational conception and chemical creation permit nearly infinite degrees of freedom to craft the ideal molecule for each unique task. They are free from the inherent weaknesses and vulnerabilities that limit natural proteins’ potential as medicines, and are designed to have extraordinary properties and expanded functions to offer key benefits to patients.
