Basecamp Research claims its BaseFold model outperforms the Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold 2 for predicting large protein structures.
London-based start-up Basecamp Research, which is building artificial intelligence (AI) models for life sciences, pharma and biotech, has completed a $60m funding round.
The start-up has also entered into a multiyear collaboration with Dr David R Liu’s laboratory at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
Basecamp aims to develop models with better insights into biology than any human by training its AI on a vast amount of “ethically sourced” biological data. However, instead of feeding the model the thousands of published research papers in the field of biology, the start-up is gathering very particular data, building the model from the ground up.
