Macromoltek
Computational antibody design
We built a proprietary computational platform that designs antibodies from scratch against targets that traditional methods can't reach. Our software generates accurate and credible antibody structures rapidly, speeding up discovery for biotech and large pharma users. Essentially, we turn complex antibody development into a computational problem and solve it with AI and deep learning.
We live and work in Austin, TX, and would continue to base the company here after YC.
Austin has a strong tech community and biotech presence that supports our work. It's also where both founders are based, so it fits our team and operational needs.
