Bio-Native AI platform and HYFT technology
According to multiple company press releases, MindWalk is powered by its patented HYFT® technology and the LensAI™ platform. HYFT patterns are described as evolution-shaped subsequence codes that link sequence, structure and function. MindWalk states that HYFT technology can work without sequence alignment and capture multi-dimensional functional fingerprints that encode geometry, stability and biophysical constraints. These patterns are used to reveal functional logic in biological systems, even when sequence variation obscures it.
The LensAI platform is presented as a software environment that harmonizes and analyzes diverse biological data. Company materials explain that LensAI links sequences, functions, experimental outcomes and scientific evidence into a continuously learning system. MindWalk emphasizes that LensAI is designed to provide explainability, biological traceability and full lineage tracking for AI-informed decisions in discovery and development.
Integration of in silico and wet lab capabilities
MindWalk describes its operating model as combining in silico and wet lab operations for biologics discovery and development. Public communications state that the company "closes the loop" with an integrated, full-stack wet lab. This integration is positioned as enabling the conversion of computational insights into validated biological assets.
Across its disclosures, MindWalk highlights several capabilities supported by its platform:
- Rapid epitope mapping
- De novo molecular design
- In silico vaccine exploration
- Population-scale biologics analytics
The company states that these capabilities are intended to help convert insight into validated candidates with speed and precision.
Therapeutic research focus and programs
MindWalk characterizes itself as a Bio-Native AI therapeutic research and technology company. Its public updates describe multiple AI-driven programs that are derived from its HYFT and LensAI platform.
In its influenza work, MindWalk reports that it has identified a breakthrough functional constraint that persists across influenza A and influenza B viruses despite continual evolution. Using HYFT Deep Data technology, the company states that it has detected a functional pattern embedded in influenza biology that remains intact beneath surface-level genetic change. MindWalk describes this as a biophysical requirement influenza must satisfy for infection, and reports that the same HYFT-defined pattern has been observed across human, avian and swine-associated influenza A datasets, as well as both major influenza B lineages.
MindWalk has also announced a universal influenza program that it intends to advance through additional pre-clinical validation and IND-enabling work within a dedicated portfolio structure. The company has indicated that, following sufficient pre-clinical de-risking, it plans to out-license this program or pursue development partnerships with global pharmaceutical companies.
In metabolic and aging biology, MindWalk has reported an AI-designed GLP-1 receptor agonist program. The company states that its GLP-1 peptides were designed entirely in silico using LensAI and that these sequences matched or exceeded semaglutide in receptor activation assays. Building on this work, MindWalk has described a first-in-class dual-pathway regimen in which its GLP-1 receptor agonists are co-administered with a proprietary companion therapeutic directed at a second, non-overlapping pathway linked to healthy aging and systemic resilience. The company notes that the specific target details of this companion therapeutic remain undisclosed while validation and protection activities proceed.
MindWalk has also discussed a universal dengue vaccine initiative. Using LensAI and HYFT patterns to analyze multi-omic data, the company reports that it pinpointed a highly conserved, discontinuous epitope shared across all four dengue virus serotypes. Public statements indicate that preclinical planning for this program is underway and that a collaborator has been selected to advance it.
Neurodegeneration and biologics discovery
In neurodegenerative disease, MindWalk has announced the discovery and validation of monoclonal antibodies and intrabodies that selectively target misfolded, pathogenic TDP-43, a protein implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and certain forms of Alzheimer’s disease. The company states that this work demonstrates its ability to discriminate with structural precision between toxic protein conformations and their healthy counterparts, and to anchor these findings in wet-lab validation.
MindWalk describes this TDP-43 work as resolving both structural and functional logic of neurodegeneration and converting that understanding into selective, evidence-linked biological assets. The company has noted that the study provides external validation of its platform capabilities in a client-driven setting and reinforces its position as a discovery partner for complex neurodegenerative programs.
Business model and partnerships
MindWalk’s disclosures indicate that it operates a proprietary Bio-Native AI platform and engages in project-based and platform-related revenue streams. The company reports that it partners with global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to support biologics discovery, de-risk drug development and generate AI-driven programs. It has also described an approach in which platform-derived programs are structured as standalone development portfolios, with assets and liabilities for each program ringfenced in segregated portfolios.
MindWalk has reported that it is forming a corporation in the Cayman Islands to house segregated portfolios for each AI-driven program. Under this structure, investors can participate directly in individual portfolios rather than only through the public company. The company has stated that this arrangement is intended to align capital, risk and decision-making with each individual asset while preserving the integrity of its core discovery platform.
Corporate evolution and identity
MindWalk Holdings Corp. has disclosed that it was formerly known as ImmunoPrecise Antibodies and that it completed a corporate rebranding to MindWalk. The company has indicated that this rebranding united ImmunoPrecise Antibodies, BioStrand and Talem under a single identity and that its Nasdaq ticker was changed to HYFT to reflect its HYFT technology.
In connection with its strategic focus, MindWalk has reported the sale of its Netherlands operations, classifying those operations as discontinued in its financial statements. The company has stated that the divestiture generated net proceeds that strengthened its balance sheet and allowed it to focus resources on Bio-Native AI initiatives and high-value wet lab programs aligned with LensAI.
Capital markets activity and governance
MindWalk’s SEC filings describe various capital markets and governance activities. The company has entered into a Sales Agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC to offer and sell common shares through an at-the-market equity offering facility under an effective shelf registration statement. It has also announced a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to a specified number of common shares over a defined period, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements.
The company files current reports on Form 6-K that include earnings releases, pro forma financial information, statements of executive compensation and reports of voting results. These filings are incorporated by reference into MindWalk’s registration statements on Form F-3 and Form S-8, providing additional detail on its financial position, equity structure and compensation arrangements.
Position within biotechnology and healthcare
Within the broader biotechnology and healthcare sector, MindWalk presents itself as a Bio-Native AI and TechBio company focused on biologics, vaccines and therapeutics that are informed by its AI and Deep Data capabilities. Its public communications emphasize the use of AI-native data intelligence to identify functional constraints in pathogens, design biologics in silico and link computational insights to wet-lab validation.
According to its disclosures, MindWalk’s platform is applied across infectious disease, metabolic and aging biology, and neurodegeneration, among other areas. The company highlights that its approach is intended to support rational vaccine and therapeutic discovery, improve decision quality and reduce downstream failure in drug discovery programs.
