## History

Antibody Solutions was founded in 1995 by current president, John Kenney, PhD, Judith Lynch-Kenney, and Dennis and Bette Gould. Dr. Kenney previously managed the monoclonal antibody (MAb) development laboratory for Syntex Research (Roche) in Palo Alto, while Gould managed the MAb production facility for Syva Diagnostics. Gould left Antibody Solutions in 1997, eventually becoming a vice president for Sepragen Corporation. Kenney and Gould were assisted in the startup of the company by Barry Bredt, who had the foresight to acquire the domain name, www.antibody.com, for the company. Bredt later became director of the University of California at San Francisco’s General Clinical Research Center, and was a pioneer of the HIV/AIDS Diagnostics EasyCD4;[1][2] he died on April 8, 2007.

Antibody Solutions was incorporated in 1998 with Dr. Kenney as president and Judith Lynch-Kenney as chief financial officer. One of the first independent antibody discovery companies, the firm focused on custom antibody discovery for therapeutics, diagnostics and critical reagents. The company pioneered the use of bioreactors in antibody research by becoming the first CRO to produce antibodies in CELLine flasks in 2000.

From 2004 to 2011, Antibody Solutions was headquartered in Mountain View, a short distance from Shoreline Park, Moffett Field and the Googleplex. In 2011, the company moved to new facilities in Sunnyvale.[3] It moved to its current 33,300-square-foot location at 3033 Scott Blvd. in Santa Clara near the San Tomas Expressway in mid-2019. A grand opening for the Scott Blvd. facility was held on January 30, 2020, to coincide with the company's Silver Anniversary.[4]

## Partnerships

Over the years, Antibody Solutions has had strategic agreements with a range of life science companies, including Open Monoclonal Technology, Inc. (OMT),[5][6] Reflexion Pharmaceuticals, Guava Technologies, Single-Cell Technologies, Trianni, Harbour Antibodies, OmniAb and Alloy Therapeutics.
