A clinical-stage biotech decoding biology at scale, pairing automated cell experiments with machine learning to discover and develop new medicines.
Protein-ligand binding affinity prediction from sequence and SMILES, without MSAs. Coarse-grained cofolding runs over 10x faster than Boltz-2.
Transcriptomics foundation model from Recursion that masks and reconstructs RNA-seq gene expression counts to learn reusable sample embeddings.
Conditional chemical language model prompted with a protein target and mechanism of action to score and design molecules without structural input.
Open model that jointly predicts biomolecular structure and small-molecule binding affinity, approaching FEP+ accuracy in seconds on a single GPU.
Transcriptomic perturbation prediction across unseen single and double gene knockdowns and unseen cell lines, driven by gene-gene knowledge graphs.
