What a year for our global research community 🌍

In 2025, together we:
• Processed 1.5 PB of data (+50% YoY)
• Welcomed 2,400 new users across 375 institutions
• Were cited in 741 publications
• Shipped 30 new biological blocks

On to an even bigger 2026 🚀

What if we’ve been studying TILs wrong?

A new low-intervention study found:
— High-TIL areas had both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells
— Low-TIL areas skewed to CD4+ T cells with fewer cytotoxic markers
— CD4+ T cells had less diverse TCRs

MiXCR identified TILs with the highest therapeutic potential.

Antibody discovery becomes far more powerful when functional assay data and NGS are brought together.

In Platforma’s antibody space, overlaying immune assay targets with clonotypes makes enriched, functionally validated clones pop instantly, letting teams spot high-value hits faster.

Coupled with other filters for sequence liability and enrichment scores, this decision funnel guarantees a panel of leads that are both enriched and biologically diverse.

Last week during our antibody discovery webinar, we gave a live demo of our lead selection block.

Unlike the common “Top N” approach, which can bias selection toward a single dominant family, we use a Diversity-First algorithm to pick the top representative from each family to ensure diversity.

Last chance to register for our antibody discovery webinar tomorrow at 11 AM EST/ 5 PM CET!

Learn how to:
• Uncover emergent clones & immune responses
• Track enrichment and liabilities
• Predict structure & affinity from sequence
• Find top leads without coding

What everyone in antibody discovery should know:

1. How to combine NGS with functional assay data to reveal truly high-potential clones
2. Not all lead candidates are therapeutic candidates
3. Prioritize developability from the start. Spot sequence liabilities early to derisk your pipeline.

MiXCR powered BCR extraction in this study, and with Platforma you can now go further—model structure, predict binding affinity, and rank top antibody leads by developability.

RNA-seq to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in multiple myeloma?

A recent Nature study found that RNA-seq achieved higher sensitivity and stronger prognostic value than DNA-seq for MRD.

We're proud that MiXCR was the key tool in this study.

We just wrapped up two impactful days at the Cell Symposium in Sitges, Spain with Cellecta! Was great to be face-to-face with researchers: live demos of Platforma, learning more about what others are working on, and sharing what our teams have been building.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Proud to share a new study advancing non-invasive immune monitoring in cancer. Researchers found tumor-derived TCR clonotypes enriched in cfDNA and persisting >50 weeks in circulating T cells.

Proud that MiXCR powered large-scale TCR sequencing across tumor, blood, and cfDNA.
