Baseimmune Revolutionizing Vaccine Development with AI Predictive Technology
Baseimmune, a biotech company based in London, UK, is making waves in the field of vaccine development with its cutting-edge technology. Using proprietary deep learning AI, the company is able to predict future pathogen mutations in order to generate novel vaccines. Recently, Baseimmune secured £9M in Series A funding, with MSD Global Health Innovation Fund and IQ Capital leading the round. This funding will be instrumental in accelerating the development of three vaccine candidates for African swine fever, coronavirus, and malaria, as well as expanding the company's team and advancing its technology.
Founded in 2019 by Joshua Blight and Ariane Gomes, Baseimmune has developed a vaccine design algorithm that integrates various types of data, including genomic, epidemiological, immunological, clinical, and evolutionary information.
By analyzing this data, the algorithm is able to create synthetic antigenic proteins that contain the most crucial parts of a pathogen, thus eliciting a strong immune response. The company's computational platform is focused on understanding pathogen evolution in order to design cross-protective vaccines. This approach allows Baseimmune to develop vaccine candidates in a shorter timeframe, thanks to the use of big data and innovative design algorithms.
The innovative technology developed by Baseimmune has the potential to revolutionize the field of vaccine development. By creating universal "future-proof" vaccines that can combat both current and emerging variants, the company is paving the way for more effective and efficient vaccination strategies. With the support of investors such as Hoxton Ventures, Creator Fund, Beast Ventures, and Maki.vc, Baseimmune is poised to make a significant impact in the fight against infectious diseases worldwide.
