THE AI ANGLE
Designing small-molecule cancer drugs with automated experimental feedback

Iambic Therapeutics raised $150 million in an initial public offering to fund clinical trials for cancer drugs. The company pairs automated high-throughput experiments with computational models to design small molecules, including a HER2 inhibitor that penetrates the brain. This funding moves computationally designed therapies into clinical trials to test whether they overcome resistance and toxicity issues seen in existing treatments.
