Red Queen Bio uses AI to design antibodies before pandemics emerge
Red Queen Bio is designing antibody treatments before the pathogens they target emerge, shifting part of pandemic defense from reaction to preparation. The company uses AI to predict dangerous natural and synthetic pathogens, then pairs those predictions with wet-lab testing.
The plan includes manufacturing and stockpiling antibodies against entire virus families, while engineering tighter binding so smaller doses can protect more people. The OpenAI-backed startup has raised $36 million.
