Our trusted partners
Are you struggling to generate reliable and precise antigen-binding molecules?
Are you frustrated by the complexity and difficulty of generating precise antibodies against your targets?
Are you tired of time-consuming mAbs generation campaigns and betting on uncertain immunization results?
Are you part of the 86% of labs suffering from the lack of reproducibility?
Are you concerned that unreliable antibodies could jeopardize your entire research project, wasting months or even years of work?
If you answered yes to at least one of those questions, take a moment to read on to discover how we can help.
We know how it feels to lose time, energy, and resources, ending up exhausted with inconclusive results.
Before beeing experts, we also struggled to find solutions by ourselves. We imagined, explored and tested various existing methods, including immunization in mice, rats, and rabbits. We also attempted recombinant expression in CHO and HEK cells. We even tested exotic methodology such as those you read in the litterature but which never works.... ... And nothing came out.
We are Scientific Entrepreneurs. We understand the economic vision behind your project.
You shouldn’t struggle to generate antigen-binding molecule as starting materials for your crucial research. Unpredictable solutions shouldn't compromise your work. Through EVOBodies™ platform, IMMUNOCHEM provides precise AI-driven antibody discovery, helping bio-pharmaceutical managers and scientists save time, reduce stress, and achieve the groundbreaking research results they deserve.
What if you could create your tailored antibody with controllable, predictable AI-based biology?
Now, imagine you are working without the stress incumbent upon chance-relying results. Because your antigen-binding molecule have been stricly well design upon your wishes.
From now, you own the perfect material to target and detect your antigens and you perform your experiments with high-reproductibility.
Visualize your science moving forward in flow. You are waiting confident the end of your day experience. Your missing experiences are not any more a conversation subject since you conquer your antibody construction.
You take pleasure in your science. And you can finally allocate more of your time to strategy instead of energy-consuming failing experiment.
How single-domain antibodies are a game-changer for your projects ?
Camelids such as alpacas produce heavy chain-only IgGs (HCAb). Their antigen-binding domain (Fab fragment) lacks the CH1 domain of the heavy chain, and the light chains are also absent.
Single-domain antibodies or VHH are the equivalent of the variable domain of camelid heavy chain antibodies. As the smallest binding entity, being only 15kDa, they offer significant advantages in research and therapeutic applications.
Working with VHH means that you’re opting for a more efficient, more reliable, and more confident path to success.
Here’s why working with VHH is a great choice for your research
Predictable : VHH are designed upon request by leveraging computational modeling (AI), ensuring predictability.
Efficient : VHH are produced by leveraging synthetic biology, avoiding random immunisation results.
Simple : VHH are produced in microbial systems, meaning simplified production process, saving you time and resources.
Small : VHH are only 15KDa, demonstrating enhanced tissue penetration, reaching hidden and cryptic epitopes not accessible with conventional mAbs.
Stable: VHH are highly stable even under challenging conditions, maintaining their effectiveness upon time. Shelf-life is no longer an issue!
Easy to engineer : VHH are highly versatile and can be customized for various applications through advanced protein engineering, providing tailored solutions to meet your specific projects needs.
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence for enhanced antibody and VHH solutions
Today, by combining AI and biological tools, you have the power in your hand to create your tailored antibodies in only a few weeks, rather than waiting months for unpredictable results from traditional immunization processes.
What's even better for you? This method works for any antigen, including:
little or non-immunogenic
toxic to the host
highly conserved
targeting vital functions
Using Artificial Intelligence to generate VHH means :
You don’t need the physical antigen.
You built everything from scratch from its sequence (de novo generation).
You accelerate your pipeline for developing therapeutic antibodies.
You improve the developability of your molecules.
You own detailed reports of AI analyses that predict the characteristics of your VHH.
Take advantage of the VHH technology in your own field of applications

Meet Philippe Herman, CEO of Immunochem and passionate innovator in Life Sciences
Hello, I’m Philippe Herman ! I have been evolving for +12 years on the intersection of biophysics and computational biology.
I authored 20 papers studying microbial adhesion using the atomic force microscope. I had the chance to apply it to the fabulous world of microbes. I discovered and demonstrated key concepts in protein-host protein interactions for staphylococcal proteins. I notably wrote a PNAS paper in 2018 and was invited to write a Science perspective around the hospital-acquired infections.
I am passionate about how technique can help Science. During my research, I needed of precisely designed molecules against my antigens of interests.
This led me to discover the power of VHH, and inspired me to develop IMMUNOCHEM’s EVOBodies™ platform, making it accessible to our clients.
