We develop AI and wet-lab technologies that enable the rational design of developable, selective, and functional drugs against previously undruggable targets.
To maximize the patient impact of our platform, we collaborate with leading pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb and Takeda, to expand their pipelines with high-quality drug candidates.
If successful we could double the number of disease-relevant drug targets the industry advances for drug development.
Since launching in 2021 we have raised $37 million with the backing of leading investors, including Radical Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Zetta Venture Partners.
Our technical team is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and continues to recruit top machine learning and synthetic biology talent. For more information check out the Careers section of our website at www.nabla.bio.

A-Alpha Bio is a biotechnology company using synthetic biology and machine learning to measure, discover, predict, and engineer protein-protein interactions. We pursue our mission of improving human health through an internal therapeutics pipeline and by partnering with industry-leading pharmaceutical and technology companies.
Current approaches for measuring protein-protein interactions are insufficient for many drug development applications due to low accuracy or throughput. We are a team of synthetic biologists, structural biologists, and next-generation sequencing experts who have come together to remove this industry-wide bottleneck. Our proprietary experimental platform, AlphaSeq, generates high-resolution data to discover rare and effective antibodies, identify degradable neo-substrates for molecular glues, and generate massive protein-protein interaction datasets to map the protein binding landscape. Our AlphaBind platform then leverages these data to train predictive machine learning models to further accelerate the discovery and optimization of high-impact therapeutics.
A-Alpha Bio, Inc. was founded in 2017 as a spinout from the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design and Center for Synthetic Biology and is based in Seattle, Washington.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary.
SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.
