Helical

Startup

Helical AI is an open-core computational platform that empowers pharmaceutical and biotech companies with advanced biological foundation models. We specialize in developing and deploying pre-trained AI models focused on DNA sequences, single-cell RNA-seq, and other multi-omics data.

Our platform simplifies the integration and application of cutting-edge AI tools. By enhancing traditional bioinformatics workflows with these foundation models, we help organizations unlock novel insights, identify biomarkers, and discover new therapeutic targets.

As an open-core company, the majority of our technology is open-sourced, enabling broad access. However, we also offer customized AI solutions (AI-Agents) developed in partnership with clients that remain proprietary.

Helical's mission is to democratize access to state-of-the-art AI capabilities in biology and accelerate innovation in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. By equipping diverse teams with our advanced foundation models & AI-Agents, we are committed to driving breakthroughs that improve patient outcomes and bring life-saving treatments to market faster.

More concretely, our platform offers:
--> an open-source library & framework for the most powerful DNA & RNA bio foundation models
--> extensive model benchmarking capabilities
--> fine-tuning on your in-house data on highest-security standard HPCs
--> royalty-free bio AI agents for fast application developments s.a. target identification, similarity search in DNA databases, target-engagement biomarker discovery, etc.

- Use Case Example:
Helical helped the largest pharma company in the US to identify target-engagement and toxicity biomarker with very little experimental data samples, by leveraging Helical's AI agents comprising a transfer learning approach from rich public datasets.

- Partnering:
Partner with Helical for royalty-free bio-AI expertise and platform access. Together, we can build state-of-the-art applications on top of DNA and single-cell foundation models. Our partners can leverage Helical’s AI expertise through direct access to our platform as well as knowledge from our engineering and delivery team. 
-> If you are looking to accelerate your drug discovery or to enhance your diagnostic capabilities on DNA or RNA data with AI, feel free to reach out and we are happy to discuss o n how you could leverage Helical!
