Xencor Incorporated

Xencor™ is a biotechnology company that is commercializing Protein Design Automation™ (PDA), a proprietary research platform for protein design.

PDA builds on recent groundbreaking advances in computer capabilities and computational chemistry methods to design protein and peptide variants, as well as completely unique protein sequences. PDA produces novel proteins that preserve target functions while modifying selected chemical and biological properties. PDA can rapidly examine vastly more protein sequences than is possible for methods based on genetic screening and selection, resulting in a higher success rate and access to a wider range of novel protein properties.



Xencor's dedicated research facilities include a molecular biology laboratory and a state-of the art computational lab with a parallel supercomputer. Xencor has ongoing collaborations with leading universities, including the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).



Xencor is positioned to lead the field of rational biodiscovery by leveraging PDA into new biopharmaceutical and reagents, biomolecule product libraries, databases and proprietary R&D systems. Xencor holds the exclusive worldwide license for PDA technology
