BioAI startup 百奥几何 (Bai Ao Ji He) has completed a strategic financing round of hundreds of millions of yuan, marking a significant milestone in its three-year journey from team building to developing foundational AI models for life sciences. The company focuses on 'Life AI,' aiming to engineer life at the atomic level by understanding and designing biological molecules like proteins and antibodies. Unlike digital and physical AI, Life AI faces challenges such as data scarcity and the need for integrated wet-lab validation, prompting 百奥几何 to develop its proprietary GeoFlow model series, which has shown breakthroughs in antibody design and enzyme engineering for applications in drug development and synthetic biology.
