The startup founder was Ex-scientist at Google’s DeepMind, where they are working on advanced Artificial Intelligent models applied to scientific problems, including protein folding and medical diagnostics.
The goal of the startup is to use generative AI (GenAI) technologies to develop new protein-based medicines by building on the prediction capabilities used in AlphaFold2.
The startup, called Latent Labs, aims to assist biopharmaceutical researchers in computationally producing novel therapeutic molecules, including enzymes or antibodies, with enhanced properties.
Notable investors in the startup include Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean, Transformer architecture co-inventor and Cohere founder Aidan Gomez, and ElevenLabs founder Mati Staniszewski.
