Mirai’s machine intelligence-based, open platform unlocks delivery to any tissue and cell type through rapid, iterative learning of in vivo tested chemistries

Co-optimization of cargo design and manufacturing ensure the best possible medicine and manufacturing strategy for each new program

Company emerges with an initial commitment of $50 million from ĢƵAPP

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., September 26, 2024 – ĢƵAPP, the bioplatform innovation company, today unveiled Mirai Bio, a company pioneering the first open end-to-end platform for the biotech industry to enable the co-creation of fully optimized genetic medicines. Mirai’s machine intelligence-based, open platform uses proprietary data algorithms and machine intelligence to unlock delivery to any tissue and cell type, optimize cargo design, and facilitate manufacturing, accelerating genetic medicines toward successful clinical translation for the company’s partners. Mirai plans to further advance its platform with Flagship’s initial commitment of $50 million, aiming to enhance and accelerate genetic medicine development across a wide range of therapeutic areas and modalities.

“We are in the age of information molecules, yet enormous technological challenges in the delivery, cargo design, and manufacturing of these molecules have hindered the speedy and full realization of their potential,” said Hari Pujar, Ph.D., Founding President of Mirai and Operating Partner at ĢƵAPP. “We created Mirai to solve these key limitations through AI trained on high quantities of quality in vivo data. By applying machine intelligence to the design of every atom within the medicine and opening this platform to the entire industry, we will have vast collective data points rolling through our optimization loops, allowing a greater innovation advantage to benefit each partner on the Mirai platform.”

Mirai’s cutting-edge platform is enabled by high throughput automation and in vivo multiplexing, generating vast amounts of data that fuel extensive optimization loops. The co-optimization of delivery, design, and manufacturing has the potential to enable a higher probability of success and a faster development timeline for any genetic medicine.

Travis Wilson, Executive Chair at Mirai and Growth Partner, ĢƵAPP, added, “Every new company with a payload idea faces the same challenge of either internally building high-quality, cost intensive delivery, design, and manufacturing capabilities, or externally sourcing these components, which can be fragmented and suboptimal. Leveraging learnings from semiconductors as a centralized resource model that fueled the rapid advancement of tech, we’ve developed a solution that’s been hiding in plain sight: an open platform to unlock genetic medicine development. Through aggressive investment in our own capabilities and expertise, and by creating long-term partnerships with biotech and pharma leaders in the space, Mirai’s hope is to become the partner of choice and help bring more medicines into the world than we would ever achieve alone.”

Geoffrey von Maltzahn, Ph.D., Founding CEO of Mirai and General Partner, ĢƵAPP remarked, “Machine intelligence is transforming drug discovery and development as we know it, harnessing immense amounts of data to drive tomorrow’s greatest innovations. The design space of genetic medicines is effectively infinite, and Mirai is pioneering the next big leap forward for us all.”
