Co-Founder And Ceo
CurrentA-Alpha Bio is a biotechnology company using synthetic biology and machine learning to measure, discover, predict, and engineer protein-protein interactions. We pursue our mission of improving human health through an internal therapeutics pipeline and by partnering with industry-leading pharmaceutical and technology companies.Current approaches for measuring protein-protein interactions are insufficient for many drug development applications due to low accuracy or throughput. We are a team of synthetic biologists, structural biologists, and next-generation sequencing experts who have come together to remove this industry-wide bottleneck. Our proprietary experimental platform, AlphaSeq, generates high-resolution data to discover rare and effective antibodies, identify degradable neo-substrates for molecular glues, and generate massive protein-protein interaction datasets to map the protein binding landscape. Our AlphaBind platform then leverages these data to train predictive machine learning models to further accelerate the discovery and optimization of high-impact therapeutics.A-Alpha Bio, Inc. was founded in 2017 as a spinout from the University of Washington's Institute for Protein Design and Center for Synthetic Biology and is based in Seattle, Washington.
