WhiteLab Genomics raises $26 million for AI gene therapy design
Original: AI helping to design the vehicles that could carry gene therapies into hard-to-reach cells, even in the brain? WhiteLab
WhiteLab Genomics has raised $26 million in Series B funding to use artificial intelligence in designing vectors, the vehicles that carry gene therapies into cells. The company is targeting a persistent problem in genetic medicine: a treatment can carry the right instructions but still fail to reach hard-to-access cells, including those in the brain.
Why now: The funding round highlights growing investor interest in AI-driven drug delivery design, a major bottleneck for gene therapies.
