Design
Model guided generation
Generate sequence defined targeting systems across vast design spaces where recognition, delivery, and biological context can be explored in tandem in physiologically relevant systems.
KAIJU Bio KAIJU Bio, Inc.
KAIJU Bio is building a software enabled biotechnology platform for discovering programmable nucleic acid based targeting systems and precision molecular delivery technologies against biological targets that remain difficult for conventional modalities. Our goal is to enable the next generation of in vivo medicines by connecting model guided design, human cell screening, and experimentally grounded learning loops.
Platform thesis
KAIJU Bio is developing a design-build-screen-learn loop for sequence defined targeting systems, connecting model guided library design with experimental feedback so recognition, delivery, and biological context can be optimized in tandem. Behind the platform is proprietary infrastructure for connecting sequence design, synthesis planning, screening data, and model refinement across design cycles.
Design
Generate sequence defined targeting systems across vast design spaces where recognition, delivery, and biological context can be explored in tandem in physiologically relevant systems.
Build
Connect nucleic acid design and synthesis workflows for ultra-large experimental search spaces informed by human biology.
Screen
Measure targeting and delivery behavior in disease relevant human cellular contexts where functional signal is observed directly through parallelized multiplexed readouts.
Learn
Use functional data to refine candidate selection and improve subsequent design cycles.
Technology
KAIJU's delivery work applies AI enabled screening at massive scale to explore broad distributions of peptide nanoparticle designs and molecular delivery behaviors. Rather than optimizing a single component in isolation, the platform is built to evaluate how targeting, formulation, biodistribution, and biological context interact across multiplexed experimental systems.
This distributional approach is designed to surface delivery architectures that perform in complex in vivo environments, where context, cell state, and tissue exposure shape therapeutic activity.
Model guided exploration of molecular systems for recognition of challenging biological targets and cellular contexts.
AI enabled screening at massive scale explores broad distributions of peptide nanoparticle designs and delivery behaviors.
Human cell systems and multiplexed readouts help evaluate how biological context shapes functional delivery signal.
Experimental data informs candidate ranking and subsequent design cycles, allowing the platform to refine molecular systems based on measured function rather than design assumptions alone.
Why now
The next generation of in vivo medicines will require targeting and delivery systems that can be discovered, optimized, and validated together, not treated as separate problems. KAIJU is building for that convergence: sequence defined design, screening that captures cellular behavior, and models that learn from each experimental cycle.
Scientific foundation
KAIJU's scientific foundation builds on work in generative models for large scale biological sequence design and synthesis.
KAIJU is translating core scientific insights from large scale biological sequence design into proprietary discovery infrastructure for nucleic acid recognition systems and precision molecular delivery. Our work applies these principles toward next generation in vivo medicines, extending them into targeting and delivery challenges.
