Basecamp Research's Approach
Basecamp Research's approach to building an AI for biology is unique. Unlike other AI startups that rely on large datasets, Basecamp Research is gathering primary data first-hand. The startup's team uses a combination of exploration and artificial intelligence to collect and analyze data from the natural world. This approach allows the AI to understand the language of biology in a way that no human can.
The startup's flagship model, BaseFold, has already shown impressive results in predicting large, complex protein structures and small molecule interactions. BaseFold has outperformed AlphaFold 2, the AI model developed by DeepMind, in these tasks. This achievement is a testament to Basecamp Research's commitment to building an AI that truly understands the language of biology.
