Chai Discovery Announces Collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb to Advance AI-Driven Antibody Discovery
Chai Discovery, the AI company building a computer-aided design suite for molecules, today announced a collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb to advance the discovery of therapeutic antibodies using artificial intelligence.
Under the collaboration, Bristol Myers Squibb will leverage Chai’s advanced AI models and platform capabilities, including its leading molecular folding and design models, to support the discovery of antibody candidates across its portfolio and further its efforts to build an AI-powered, continuously learning discovery system.
Chai Discovery uses AI to predict and reprogram molecular interactions, helping scientists design new biomolecules with specific properties. The company’s models accelerate drug discovery by generating molecules based on defined criteria and compressing discovery cycles to pursue targets that traditional discovery methods have historically struggled to reach.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Bristol Myers Squibb to deploy our technology, including toward diverse drug targets,” said Joshua Meier, co-founder and CEO of Chai Discovery. “By combining Chai’s advanced AI models with Bristol Myers Squibb’s deep therapeutic expertise, we hope to rapidly accelerate the timeline from concept to viable therapeutic candidates.”
