The round was led by Mission BioCapital and Santé Ventures, with participation from existing investors including Lightchain Capital, Cobro Ventures, and others.. 波士顿,2025年11月19日——AI Proteins,一家利用人工智能从零开始构建新型药物的生物技术公司,今日宣布完成了4150万美元的A轮融资。本轮融资由Mission BioCapital和Santé Ventures领投,现有投资者Lightchain Capital、Cobro Ventures等也参与其中。The financing will accelerate AI Proteins’ mission to unlock the next generation of transformative new medicines built from de novo miniproteins. The convergence of generative AI, synthetic biology, and robotics powers the company’s discovery platform and enables the creation of this novel class of therapeutics. 这笔融资将加速AI Proteins公司的使命,即解锁由从头设计的微型蛋白质构建的下一代革命性新药。生成式人工智能、合成生物学和机器人技术的结合为公司的发现平台提供了动力,并使得这类新型疗法的创造成为可能。AI Proteins’ modular miniproteins are created entirely from first principles, unconstrained by evolution or human bias, to achieve complete control over function, stability, solution behavior, and pharmacology. They can be tailored for sophisticated and diverse mechanisms of action, including targeted delivery or multispecific agents.. AI Proteins的模块化小蛋白完全基于第一性原理设计,不受进化或人为偏见的限制,从而实现对功能、稳定性、溶液行为和药理学的全面控制。它们可以针对复杂多样的作用机制进行定制,包括靶向递送或多特异性药物。“Natural proteins evolved under selective pressures in the environment. They did not evolve to be modern medicine,” said Chris Bahl, PhD, Founder and CEO of AI Proteins. “Antibodies changed patient care but are limited by their natural origin. The next wave of biologic medicines will do things that are impossible for natural proteins because they’re made de novo. “天然蛋白质是在环境的选择压力下进化的。它们并非为了成为现代医学而进化,”AI Proteins创始人兼首席执行官Chris Bahl博士说道。“抗体改变了患者的治疗方式,但受限于其天然来源。下一波生物药物将实现天然蛋白质无法做到的事情,因为它们是全新设计的。”We start our design process with a target product profile and work backward to create the exact molecule needed. This level of control and precision wasn’t possible before. By industrializing the design-build-test cycle, we generate and optimize miniprotein candidates at speed and scale, and harvest massive datasets that we use to improve our models and accelerate our progress.”. 我们的设计过程从目标产品概况开始,逆向工作以创建所需的精确分子。这种程度的控制和精度在过去是不可能实现的。通过将设计-构建-测试周期工业化,我们能够快速且大规模地生成和优化微型蛋白质候选物,并收集海量数据集,用于改进我们的模型并加速我们的进展。AI Proteins has demonstrated the power and scalability of its platform through both internal programs and partnerships. The company announced a research collaboration and option agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb in December 2024, valued up to $400 million. Internally, AI Proteins has generated molecules against over 150 targets, with multiple programs demonstrating in vivo proof-of-concept. AI Proteins通过内部项目和合作伙伴关系展示了其平台的强大功能和可扩展性。该公司于2024年12月宣布与百时美施贵宝达成研究合作与选择权协议,价值高达4亿美元。在内部,AI Proteins已针对超过150个靶点生成了分子,其中多个项目展示了体内概念验证。Beyond human therapeutics, AI Proteins’ platform opens new frontiers in diagnostics, agriculture, and reagent applications, where de novo miniproteins could replace or exceed the performance of naturally derived proteins.. 除了人类治疗之外,AI Proteins的平台在诊断、农业和试剂应用领域开辟了新前沿,其中从头设计的小型蛋白质可以替代或超越天然来源蛋白质的性能。“AI Proteins turned what has historically been artisanal science into a reproducible, scalable process capable of generating molecules across therapeutic domains,” said Steve Tregay, PhD, Managing General Partner at Mission BioCapital. “We see AI Proteins as a foundational company built to unlock an entirely new class of proteins.”. “AI Proteins 将历史上一直是手工科学的领域转变为可重复、可扩展的过程,能够跨治疗领域生成分子,”Mission BioCapital 的管理合伙人 Steve Tregay 博士说道,“我们认为 AI Proteins 是一家基础性的公司,旨在解锁一个全新的蛋白质类别。”Unlike traditional biotech platforms that are often deprioritized after yielding a successful asset, AI Proteins is focusing on driving long-term innovation and shaping the future of de novo design. The company is protecting and expanding its core platform with the adoption of an LLC hub-and-spoke business model. 与传统生物技术平台在产出成功资产后常被降级不同,AI Proteins 致力于推动长期创新并塑造从头设计的未来。该公司通过采用有限责任公司(LLC)中心辐射型商业模式,保护并扩展其核心平台。By spinning out individual programs into focused subsidiaries, this approach ensures the discovery engine keeps advancing while enabling investors and partners to capture value from each new asset.. 通过将各个项目分离为专注的子公司,这种方法确保了探索引擎不断前进,同时使投资者和合作伙伴能够从每个新资产中获取价值。“AI Proteins has built a platform that’s not only scientifically differentiated, but operationally designed for scale,” said Omar Khalil, Managing Director at Santé Ventures. “This is a platform that can power a generation of new therapies and advancements across diverse fields.” “AI Proteins打造了一个不仅在科学上具有差异化,而且在运营上为规模化而设计的平台,”Santé Ventures董事总经理奥马尔·哈立德表示。“这是一个能够推动新一代疗法和跨领域进步的平台。”About AI Proteins 关于AI蛋白质Boston-based AI Proteins is a biotech company on a mission to re-imagine protein therapeutics with a novel approach for designing entirely new proteins.
