AI protein design company released OpenCRISPR-1, the first gene editor designed entirely by AI; raised $35M developing novel enzymes, antibodies, and gene-editing tools by exploring protein sequence space beyond what evolution has produced.
Profluent Bio is an AI protein design company founded in 2022 by former Meta AI researcher Ali Madani, raising $35M in seed and Series A funding. The company trains large generative models on biological sequence data to design novel proteins with specific structural and functional properties, analogous to how large language models generate text. Profluent made scientific history in 2024 by publishing OpenCRISPR-1, the first gene editor designed entirely by AI rather than adapted from natural organisms, which the company released open source for non-commercial research. The platform enables design of novel enzymes, antibodies, and gene-editing tools by exploring protein sequence space far beyond what evolution has produced. Profluent works with pharmaceutical and agricultural biotechnology companies that need custom protein tools for research and therapeutic development. The company represents a fundamental advance in moving protein engineering from directed evolution and rational design toward generative AI-driven discovery.
Nuvig Therapeutics develops first-in-class Fc-fragment immunomodulators targeting endogenous regulatory pathways to treat autoimmune diseases without broad immune suppression.
Nuvig Therapeutics is a privately held biotechnology company developing next-generation immunomodulatory therapies for patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Its lead candidate, NVG-2089, is a first-in-class recombinant Fc fragment engineered to bind type II Fc receptors and engage an endogenous regulatory mechanism that restores immune balance without the broad immunosuppression associated with existing treatments.
