LabGenius raises £7 million
London-based drug discovery company, LabGenius has raised over over £7 million in its Series A financing round.
LabGenius is a drug discovery company that is using artificial intelligence (AI), robotic automation, and synthetic biology to discover novel protein therapeutics.
The company has developed EVA, a robot scientist capable of designing, conducting, and learning from its own experiments.
LabGenius Founder and CEO, Dr. James Field, says “Protein therapeutics have an unparalleled potential to both treat disease and alleviate human suffering. By transforming how these drugs are discovered, we have a shot at improving the lives of countless people. Being able to robustly engineer novel therapeutic proteins has immense commercial and societal value. The discovery of protein therapeutics has historically been highly artisanal, relying heavily on humans for both experimental design and execution. This dependence has proved limiting because, as a species, we’re cognitively incapable of fully grasping the complexity of biological systems.
