As our first CTO at @aiproteins.com, James will lead the continued acceleration of our platform capabilities in addition to the design, testing and optimization of many novel #miniprotein drug candidates
cdbahl.com
Our mission is to industrialize drug discovery to create programmable, #denovo protein-based medicines that help patients across a wide range of diseases
cdbahl.com
James has been one of the key architects of this vision since day one, and his insight and leadership these past ~4 years has shaped the discovery engine that powers @aiproteins.com today
cdbahl.com
What began as an idea — that we could scale de novo protein design — is now a fully-operational platform that integrates generative #AI with automated production and characterization in the wet lab

James joined my academic lab at the @ipiproteins.bsky.social in January of 2020 as a postdoc focused on #miniprotein de novo design and engineering. Less than 2 years later, James and I left academia together to found @aiproteins.com along with an incredible team of people from my former lab.

Zero-shot design of drug-binding proteins via neural selection-expansion
Computational design of molecular recognition remains challenging despite advances in deep learning. The design of proteins that bind to small molecules has been particularly difficult because it requ...

It was an honor to speak from the main stage at TED last week about our work at AI Proteins

Our mission is to design the next generation of therapeutics built from de novo #miniproteins, and this was an unbelievable opportunity to help shape the broader conversation about the future of biologics

I am incredibly enthusiastic about the future of AI Proteins @aiproteins.bsky.social and the potential for our technology to create many transformative medicines. I am committed to building a world-class company that delivers significant value to patients, our partners, and investors.
cdbahl.com
We are prioritizing a key program in oncology (to be announced soon), and I believe this focused approach will maximize our chance of success. To ensure the company can withstand anything that comes our way, we are continuing to generate additional pipeline opportunities.

Second, we are committed to advancing our internal pipeline of assets towards clinical proof-of-concept. Achieving this milestone will be a major value inflection point for AI Proteins @aiproteins.bsky.social, demonstrating the power of our platform and validating our approach to drug discovery.
cdbahl.com
Momentum is building, and AI Proteins @aiproteins.bsky.social is ideally positioned to become the premier platform partner for the discovery and development of #denovo #miniprotein therapeutics
