Terray Therapeutics has successfully raised $120 million in a Series B funding round aimed at enhancing its AI platform for small-molecule drug development. The funding was led by Bedford Ridge Capital and NVentures, the venture capital arm of Nvidia. This investment brings the total funding for Terray to over $200 million, highlighting the growing interest in AI applications within biotechnology.
The company focuses on small-molecule drugs, which are advantageous due to their low weight and ability to penetrate biological membranes. With the new funding, Terray plans to expand its generative AI model, tNova, and advance its internal immunology programs towards clinical trials. Collaborations with major pharmaceutical companies like Bristol Myers Squibb and Calico Life Sciences further emphasize the potential of AI in revolutionizing drug discovery.
