Exonic
Unsupervised Biological AI
San Francisco, US
What if you could train a biological foundation model on... the entire internet?
Exonic is pioneering a new generation of biological foundation models, focused on heterogeneous, unstructured, and noisy datasets.
Our first application is the design of safer gene therapies.
In 2025, we used AI to set a new state of the art in liver cancer targeted gene therapy, validated in vitro in our lab in San Francisco.
So far in 2026, we have trained a new model with unprecedented zero-shot generalization on genomic regulatory expression in hold-out biosample datasets. More to be shared soon.
