Anima Biotech - mRNA Lightning™ Platform

Visualize and Decode

mRNA Biology

Anima Biotech is a recognized leader in small molecule mRNA drugs. Backed by our strategic collaborations with Lilly, Takeda and Abbvie, our mRNA lightning™ platform is bringing AI to mRNA biology. With our proprietary visualization technologies, we have generated over 2 billion images of the mRNA life cycle in cells and trained disease-specific image neural networks that visually recognize the mRNA regulatory pathways underlying disease mechanisms. With our tera-scale platform, we conduct millions of automated biology experiments, screening for active molecules that revert the images of diseased cells back to a healthy phenotype. Our MOAi technology uses mRNA biology knowledge graph, LLM and the Lightning co-pilot to identify their mechanisms of actions and molecular targets. We advance a broad pipeline across therapeutic areas in immunology, oncology and neuroscience, and partner with Pharma in the discovery of mRNA drugs, targets and vaccines.

mRNA Lightning™ Applications

Our mRNA Lightning platform visualizes and decodes mRNA biology across multiple applications. In target discovery, our approach enables the identification of novel targets underlying disease biology. We then proceed to identify small molecule mRNA drugs that directly impact the disease phenotype, as they are visually modifying the images of mRNA biology in diseased cells to look like healthy ones. mRNA Lightning's unique ability to visualize mRNA biology in cells makes it a powerful platform for many additional applications in mRNA biology, such as the optimization of mRNA vaccines, siRNA, or ASO drugs.

2B mRNA Biology Images

The world's largest dataset of mRNA biology visualizations

In over a decade of working across dozens of drug discovery programs in our pipeline and with partners, we have generated a vast amount of proprietary mRNA biology data that is driving our platform's applications. We use AI to analyze and process over 2 billion images of mRNA biology and leverage our mRNA knowledge graph and large language models for querying this large-scale data. Bringing AI to mRNA biology, our platform makes the decoding of complex biology possible.

High-Content High-Throughput Platform

Our mRNA biology lab is a tera-scale, fully automated lab with robotics and high-end microscopy, incorporating our imaging and mRNA biology assays in high-content, high-throughput screening. The lab is running multiple screening lines in parallel, using screen-to-cloud architecture to process data at ultra-high speeds. Millions of mRNA biology images are uploaded to the cloud for analysis by the mRNA image network, our mRNA biology LLM, MOAi technology, and the Lightning co-pilot.

Disease Signature

The mRNA image neural network identifies mRNA regulatory pathways that differentiate healthy and diseased cells, identifying the mRNA biology signature of a specific disease and forming the foundation for our target and drug discovery approaches.

LightON mRNA | The mRNA Biology Community

As the leader in mRNA biology research with a platform that spans multiple applications, Anima has initiated the LightON mRNA Community, which now includes over 3,000 mRNA biology experts and enthusiasts from industry and the academy.

Our running webinar series provides free valuable educational insights, covering the applications of researching mRNA biology for target discovery, drug discovery, and optimization of mRNA vaccines and RNA-based drugs.

mRNA Biology Modulators Pipeline

Anima's wholly-owned pipeline of mRNA biology modulators is in Immunology (Lung fibrosis candidate advancing in preclinical stage), in Oncology (Solid tumors lead compounds entering preclinical stage and additional programs against Lymphoma and Neuroblastoma), in Neuroscience (Alzheimer's disease and Pain). In addition to our own pipeline, we established strategic collaborations with Pharma in partnered programs including our collaborations with Lilly, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, and Abbvie.
