Company Overview

Company history and background logo History and Background

OmniAb, Inc. was formed through the business combination of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated's (Ligand) OmniAb advanced antibody discovery technology and Avista Public Acquisition Corp. II (APAC II) in 2022. OmniAb leverages innovative transgenic animal platforms and sophisticated screening technologies to enable the discovery and development of next-generation therapeutics.

Company business area logo Core Business Areas

  • Antibody Discovery Technology: OmniAb licenses its antibody discovery platform, generating revenue through upfront payments, milestone payments, and royalties on the sales of drugs developed using its technology.
  • Therapeutic Antibody Programs: OmniAb has a diverse set of partners leveraging its platform for a variety of therapeutic targets, addressing oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.

Top Products and Market Share

Product Key Offerings logo Key Offerings

  • OmniAb Antibody Discovery Platform: This platform includes several transgenic animals (OmniRat, OmniMouse, OmniFlic, OmniChicken, OmniTaur, OmniFish) which generate fully human antibodies. It is the core revenue generator through licensing agreements. The platform competes with traditional hybridoma technology and other antibody discovery platforms such as those offered by Regeneron (VelociSuite), AbCellera (AI-powered discovery), and Adimab (Yeast display). Market share is difficult to pinpoint precisely but growing rapidly based on partnerships made with top 10 pharma partners since launch. Revenue generated from milestone payments and royalties will lag behind the initial licensing revenues.
