Key points
- Basecamp Research raised $140m in a Series C round led by S32.
- Total funding reaches $225m with participation from Nvidia and Anthropic.
- Funds will train new AI models and advance in vivo cell therapy pipeline.
Founded in 2019 by doctors Glen Gowers and Oliver Vince, Basecamp uses AI and biodiversity data to design treatments for cancer, autoimmune, and other diseases. The company plans to use the new funding to train next-generation AI models and advance its pipeline of AI-designed therapeutics. Its Eden models are currently being applied to in vivo cell therapy, which involves reprogramming a patient’s cells inside the body.
Basecamp states that current cell therapies are limited by complexity and high manufacturing costs, often reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient. By combining AI-designed DNA sequences with specialized enzymes, the company aims to make these therapies more sophisticated and easier to administer. The startup reports strong preclinical results and notes that its models are trained on a proprietary genomic dataset collected from partnerships in over 30 countries.
