Led by CEO Matt Foehr, the company reported strong financial results for Q1 2026, with a significant revenue surge, and subsequently raised its full-year 2026 guidance. OmniAb positions itself as a critical enabler in the antibody discovery space, collaborating with over 100 active partners, including some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, through a business model that includes upfront fees, service revenue, milestones, and royalties.
