Bioptimus has achieved a significant funding milestone of $76 million, with a recent $41 million investment led by Cathay Innovation. This funding will support the development of a groundbreaking multi-scale, multi-modal AI foundation model for biology, set to launch in 2025. The model aims to transform research across various industries, including medical, biotech, and cosmetics.
The company has already made strides with its first model, H-Optimus-0, which is the largest AI foundation model for pathology. This model has demonstrated superior performance in predicting gene expression and subtyping ovarian cancer. By integrating diverse biological data, Bioptimus is breaking down traditional silos in biological research, paving the way for innovative solutions in healthcare and beyond.
• Bioptimus raises $76 million to enhance AI-driven biological research.
• H-Optimus-0 model outperforms existing pathology models in independent benchmarks.
The AI foundation model serves as a comprehensive framework for simulating biological processes across various scales.
Multi-modal AI integrates diverse data types, such as imaging and genetics, to provide a holistic view of biology.
The pathology model, H-Optimus-0, excels in predicting gene expression and cancer subtypes with high accuracy.
Bioptimus focuses on developing AI foundation models to revolutionize biological research and innovation.
Cathay Innovation is a venture capital firm that supports transformative AI businesses, including Bioptimus.
