Today we're announcing a second, larger collaboration with @TakedaPharma — deploying our integrated AI + wet-lab platform broadly across their portfolio to design antibodies, multispecifics, and other next-generation biologics. It’s been incredibly fun working with the Takeda
We’re excited to share a new multi-year collaboration with @TakedaPharma, building on the success of our first engagement. Under the agreement, Nabla will receive double-digit millions in upfront and research payments and is eligible for success-based payments exceeding $1

"software investors" were obsessed with the idea of the idea of a tiny team reaching a billion+ run rate in enterprise saas because of "AI" this is a silly idea- gtm, sales, etc all track linearly with headcount. but it will become common in biology, nabla is ~20 ppl

another billion dollars goes to @SurgeBiswas
@nablabio is a very, very cool company and one that i am permanently bullish on. i wrote about them back in janurary and am constantly happy i picked this specific ai antibody startup to write about:

Great write up in @endpts by @AndrewE_Dunn covering our second collaboration with Takeda, the drugs our JAM platform is unlocking, and where we go from here on our quest to make drug development designable
In more pharma-AI bio partnership news: Takeda has signed a second deal with Nabla Bio @SurgeBiswas described Nabla's latest AI model, JAM, like an "autocomplete for molecules." https://t.co/av4eTs2Bv2

Great memories in the @geochurch lab pushing the limits of proteins, multiplexing , and AI with @glebkuz, @PierceOgdenJ, @ekelsic, now founders of @ManifoldBio and @Dyno_Tx
@ElliotHershberg has a special ability to capture history and paint the future at the same time.
Behind major tech advances and platform shifts is a network of innovators collaborating long before the breakthrough was obvious to others. ICYMI @ElliotHershberg highlighted the foundational research in DNA multiplexing and machine-guided design that started in the @geochurch

Earlier this year, I learned I have a pathogenic variant in BRCA2, which gives me a very high lifetime risk of breast cancer (55-69%), as well as an increased risk of ovarian cancer (12-29%) and pancreatic cancer (5-10%). 🧵1/ …

We’re launching AAV Apex Suite today — a new product line to support gene therapy drug developers and CDMOs. AAV gene therapies have incredible potential to cure disease, but cost and scale limitations have held them back. At @64xbio, we’re on a mission to solve these challenges
Today we’re announcing AAV Apex Suite, a powerful suite of tools for end-to-end AAV production. The future of medicine is taking shape, but scaling it remains a challenge. Some of the biggest breakthroughs in gene therapy continue to be held back by manufacturing constraints.

Company finds candidates that bind to tricky proteins that deliver chemical messages in and out of cells
Test-time scaling has arrived for biological design. Excited to share new work from Nabla Bio. By scaling test-time compute, we've achieved remarkable leaps in de novo antibody design against difficult drug targets.

We're excited by these results and have more in development. Just as test-time reasoning is transforming language model capabilities, test-time scaling will be a fundamental scaling law for biomolecular design.

Activating antibodies are exceedingly rare. Yet by prompting JAM with just one de novo activator, we steered our system to create 300+ diverse new activators with substantially improved properties. One design, created in just weeks, activates the receptor with potency matching
