🔬Biology Is Turning Into Software — Matt McPartland & Neil Patel, Chai Discovery
RJ HonickyMatt McPartlonNeil Patil
Chai Discovery is commercializing a neutral modeling and product layer for pharma rather than developing its own drugs, with partnerships including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Novartis, and Genentech.Chai-2 designed antibodies against 50 targets, finding binders for about half with an average binding hit rate of around 20%, while enabling GPCR agonists and multispecific formats traditional screening struggles to produce.The opportunity depends on improving developability and epitope prediction, but compute scarcity, validation latency, and talent shortages remain structural constraints as Chai scales its platform.
