7 Promising RNA Biotech Companies To Watch in 2026

For many years the focus of therapeutic developments and scientific research was directed at the genome and proteins. Yet, there is a completely different level of cell regulation – transcriptome level, presented by Ribonucleic acids (RNAs). RNA molecules are not just intermediates between DNA and proteins, in fact, they also carry …

17 Companies Pioneering AI Foundation Models in Pharma and Biotech

Foundation models represent a relatively new paradigm in artificial intelligence (AI), revolutionizing how machine learning models are developed and deployed. Foundation models are a class of large-scale machine learning models, typically based on deep learning architectures such as transformers, that are trained on massive datasets encompassing diverse types of data. The …
