At Diffuse Bio we’re building generative AI for protein therapeutics. Our team has been behind breakthroughs in AI protein design for the past 6 years, including the first experimental validation of AI-generated proteins and diffusion models for protein structure and sequence. We’ve built the first entirely AI computational nanobody design platform and are testing designs in lab now.

Our goal is to build AI systems that can design protein therapeutics for the most challenging and high-value targets. We see enormous potential for AI to revolutionize drug discovery and expand the set of diseases we can treat.

We are looking for candidates who are excited about the opportunity to join the founding team and play an expanding role in the company.
