What Nabla Bio does
Our mission is to enable pharmaceutical and biotech companies to bring more antibody therapies to patients. Using AI and massively parallel experimentation, we design antibodies that precisely bind the disease target at the right location, while minimizing manufacturability and toxicity risks. We are a well-funded, revenue-generating, bilingual company of wet- and dry-lab scientists, and are founded by AI and protein design experts from Harvard University.

Company
Nabla Bio
We use AI to design antibodies for difficult diseases
We build an AI platform that designs antibodies targeting disease proteins with precision. Our system integrates computational protein design with massive parallel wet-lab experiments to optimize binding and manufacturability. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies use our designs to develop therapies that were previously too challenging to create.
We live in Boston, MA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Boston has a rich biotech ecosystem and access to top science talent. Our founders come from Harvard and our wet-lab infrastructure is here, making it the natural place to build and grow the company.
