🧪🐍 AI vs venom!
Our Nature paper with David Baker shows AI-designed proteins can block deadly snake toxins. Now featured by Reuters! 🎥
✅ 80–100% survival in mice
💸 Cheap, fast, scalable
🌍 A step toward better antivenoms

While I’m bouncing between emails and desperately waiting for my holiday, it’s good to know at least something in the lab is holding it together

Thermal stability might not be glamorous, but it’s underrated

Designerbodies: even when things get heated, still doing their job ;)

Whether you're on holiday 🏖️ or still in the lab 🧪 trying to keep cool, at least one thing isn't melting: our DesignerBodies.

Generatively designed. Thermally stable ❄️ Reliable reagents that don’t need a break 💪

At @affinityaibio we’re moving from “finders keepers” to “designers binders”, one generative model at a time.

If you could have a binder to anything, what would it be?

(Proteins, obscure signalling pathways, that one reviewer who never gets back to you…;)

We’re rethinking what a binding reagent can be.

Most antibodies weren’t designed, they were discovered. At AffinityAI, we’re flipping that logic: we build binders from first principles, guided by generative AI.

What targets would you be interested in having a binder to?
