Isomorphic Labs is an AI-first drug discovery company spun out of Google DeepMind, building generative and predictive ML models for molecular design and drug-performance prediction. Its Drug Design Engine builds on AlphaFold to advance internal and partnered pipelines with Eli Lilly, Novartis, and J&J. It is a drug-discovery company that works through pharma R&D partnerships rather than a self-serve product.

Pros & cons

  • AlphaFold-derived design models
  • Alphabet-backed capital
  • Top-pharma partnerships
  • Nobel-laureate leadership
  • Pharma partnerships only
  • No public product or API
  • No approved drug yet
  • Opaque pricing

    Chai Discovery

    Chai Discovery

    Foundation models for molecular structure and antibody design.

    Chai Discovery builds foundation models for drug discovery — Chai-1 for biomolecular structure prediction across proteins, ligands, DNA/RNA, and glycans, and Chai-2 for de novo antibody design. Chai-1 weights and inference code are released for non-commercial use, and a free web server runs the model in-browser. It is both a model provider and a usable platform.

    Worth knowing

    OpenAI-backed; raised a $130M Series B at a ~$1.3B valuation in Dec 2025, co-led by Oak HC/FT and General Catalyst.

    Profluent

    Profluent Bio

    Generative protein language models that design novel proteins.

    Profluent uses generative AI — its ProGen-lineage protein language models — to author novel proteins from scratch or from natural scaffolds, for medicine and agriculture. It released OpenCRISPR-1, described as the first AI-designed gene editor (open-licensed and published in Nature), and is expanding into antibodies and enzymes. It operates as an AI protein-design company working through partnerships with open-sequence releases, not a self-serve consumer platform.

    Worth knowing

    Spun out of a Salesforce-funded ProGen project; open-released OpenCRISPR-1, billed as the first AI-designed gene editor.

    Lila Sciences

    Lila Sciences

    Autonomous AI labs pursuing scientific superintelligence.

    Lila Sciences is building a 'scientific superintelligence' platform that pairs a proprietary AI model with autonomous AI Science Factory lab instruments to generate hypotheses, design and run experiments, and learn in real time. It offers Catalyst, which augments existing R&D, and Creation, for new discoveries, across materials, therapeutics, chemicals, and energy. It is a platform and research company engaged through partnership rather than self-serve.

    Worth knowing

    Founded inside Flagship Pioneering; unveiled March 2025 and has since raised about $550M for its 'scientific superintelligence' bet.
