Xaira Therapeutics is an ambitious artificial intelligence endeavor, with founding investors ARCH Venture Partners and Foresite Capital aiming to assemble all components of an AI-powered drug discovery and development operation under one roof – everything from target identification and antibody design to clinical trial planning and patient selection. The start-up also aims to advance its first drug candidates toward the clinic while continuing to build out its datasets and technical capabilities, which is why it launched with ambitious funding – more than $1bn.
