Excited to see this out! Atomic was built from the ground up to fuse both cutting-edge experimental work and AI, and the ATOM-1 foundation model is a beautiful example of this in action. Onwards and upwards to unlocking a whole new world of RNA-focused therapies!. #ATOM1 #RNA.
✴️ An LLM for RNA? ✴️ . ATOM-1 is a first-of-its-kind #AI foundation model to enable the design of therapies across the #RNA landscape. Learn more:

It is my pleasure to see Atomic AI's Series A announced today! This is a huge step forward for us as we continue to grow our core AI+structure platform, to help create a new field of RNA drug discovery. Thank you everyone who has been part of the adventure so far! #ml #rna.
We’re excited to announce the close of our $35M Series A financing! Atomic AI is fusing artificial intelligence and structural biology to unlock RNA drug discovery, designing RNA-targeted and RNA-based medicines to treat undruggable diseases.
