Anima Biotech
Website: https://www.animabiotech.com/
Anima Biotech has built the biology runtime for AI - the Biology GPU.
The Biology GPU is the infrastructure layer that connects how AI thinks with how biology works. It enables AI models to visually compute inside cells in a closed loop of experimental reasoning, revealing the pathways that drive disease.
Powered by a Visual Biology Model trained on 2B+ proprietary cellular pathway images and technology that directly visualizes biological processes and pathways at AI scale, the Biology GPU runs visual experiments inside cells - identifying which pathways are active, how they interact, and where compounds act.
From pathways to targets, mechanisms to compounds, the Biology GPU transforms discovery into a runtime where AI engages directly with biology across the entire lifecycle.
Validated in 20+ discovery programs and collaborations with AbbVie, Takeda, and Lilly, Anima Biotech is defining the runtime infrastructure for AI in biology.
