Isomorphic Labs 正就约 50 亿美元的融资进行谈判,估值达到约 500 亿美元。该公司是 Google DeepMind 拆分出的 Alphabet 旗下企业,其基于 AlphaFold 3 构建了药物设计引擎,目前尚无药物在人体中进行过测试。
Bloomberg: Isomorphic Labs, The Alphabet company spun out of Google DeepMind is negotiating a roughly $5B raise at about $50B, with no drug yet tested in people.
Their product is a drug-design engine built on AlphaFold 3. It predicts how proteins in the body fold and how a candidate drug molecule will latch onto them.
Chemists normally find this out through slow, expensive lab trial and error, so the engine lets them design and rank molecules on a computer first and only make the promising ones.
If software predicts how a candidate molecule binds its protein target, chemists can drop weak designs before paying for synthesis and animal studies.
Without human data, a $50B price rests on prediction accuracy and pharma partnerships, not evidence that its molecules work in patients.
