Integrated Biosciences
Integrated Biosciences is a Redwood City biotech founded in 2022 that fuses optogenetics, chemistry, and AI to discover small-molecule drugs for age-related diseases. Its optogenetic screening platform uses light to control cellular biology at millisecond and micron scale, generating clean data to train an explainable-AI drug-discovery engine. The company has published in Nature - including a new structural class of antibiotics - and raised $17.2M in seed funding led by Sutter Hill Ventures.
Gordian Biotechnology
Gordian Biotechnology is a South San Francisco in vivo drug discovery company building a high-throughput screening platform that tests hundreds of gene therapies simultaneously inside animals that naturally develop age-related diseases. By pairing 'patient avatar' models with single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning (a stack the company calls Mosaic Screening + Pythia), Gordian aims to predict human clinical outcomes earlier and cure complex diseases of aging.
