Cosa fa Exonic

What if you could train a biological foundation model on... the entire internet? Exonic is pioneering a new generation of biological foundation models, focused on heterogeneous, unstructured, and noisy datasets. Our first application is the design of safer gene therapies. In 2025, we used AI to set a new state of the art in liver cancer targeted gene therapy, validated in vitro in our lab in San Francisco. So far in 2026, we have trained a new model with unprecedented zero-shot generalization on genomic regulatory expression in hold-out biosample datasets. More to be shared soon.

Unsupervised Biological AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building biological foundation models trained on unstructured and noisy data, primarily for designing safer gene therapies. Our models improve zero-shot generalization in genomic regulatory expression and have already set a state of the art in liver cancer targeted gene therapy validation in vitro. The product helps researchers design and test gene therapies using AI to handle complex biological data.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in San Francisco, CA, and the company will be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our lab and founders are located, giving us direct access to experimental validation and biotech talent essential for our work.
