Announcing our newest @a16zBioHealth fund: $700M to back the best founders working to make better medicines and to make the practice of medicine better. To cure disease, to care for our sick, to fix what’s broken is deeply ingrained; it is medicine’s highest aim. ā€œAt @a16z, we believe that the best thing that a society can do for a person is to give them a chance. Give them a shot at a great lifeā€¦ā€ - @bhorowitz @vintweeta @julesyoo @BenPortney @Bryan__Faust @zakdoric @JayRughani @daisydwolf @janerheetweets Michael Cialone, Eva Steinman
At Andreessen Horowitz, we just raised over $15B. With these new funds including American Dynamism ($1.176B), Apps ($1.7B), Bio Health ($700M), Infrastructure ($1.7B), Growth ($6.75B), and other venture strategies ($3B), we raised over 18% of all venture capital dollars allocated in the United States in 2025. Why did we raise the money and how do we plan to invest it? Read more from Ben Horowitz: a16z.news/p/we-raised-15b-wh…

Boltz @TakedaPharma announce new partnership, following @boltz_bio announcements on new SOTA small molecule protein design models, a new Boltz API & partnerships to make Boltz models natively accesible across platforms: šŸ‘‡
Very excited to announce our new partnership with Takeda! Takeda has been one of the most extensive and sophisticated users of our open-source models, and those models have already made a meaningful impact across multiple discovery programs. This partnership builds on that foundation, giving Takeda’s teams access to our latest proprietary models, pipelines, and infrastructure to further advance their discovery work! šŸš€

A journalist asks the Pope: ā€œDo you support Real Madrid or Barcelona?ā€ "That's easy...the Pope is for all the teams, but Prevost [his birth name] is a Real Madrid fan." Quite the endorsement, but we could’ve used some divine intervention this season…

Meet your new AI Scientist collaborator: Biomni Lab by @phylo_bio is now generally available! šŸ¤– 🄼
We are excited to announce Biomni Lab has exited research preview and is now generally available! Over the last month, we received and incorporated valuable feedback from our global community of 10K scientists. We were amazed to learn that Biomni Lab power users accomplished ~20 months of work in just one. We are introducing a Pro tier (alongside the free tier) with higher usage limits, priority HPC access, and more concurrent tasks so our users can get even more done, faster.

Happy birthday, American Biotech! ā€œFor 50 years, our biotech sector has done its part to help make…life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness a reality for everyday Americans.ā€ ā€œAmerica remains the world leader in biotech. But rivals like China are seeking to surpass us…Keeping the lead depends on fixing what’s broken — and not breaking what works.ā€ A great post by @IAmBiotech BIO CEO John Crowley šŸŽ‚ šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø 🧬 trib.al/YZsntpl

Fantastic news! Congratulations @beckypferdehirt and Radial @AsteraInstitute! What a fantastic platform for supporting and accelerating scientific innovation. (Radial is a great name. Bonus kudos)
Big news! I’m joining @AsteraInstitute as CEO of Radial, their new life sciences division. How we fund, do, and build upon science has long needed an update. At Radial, we design, fund, and operate programs that tackle foundational scientific problems while simultaneously testing better ways to do science.

AI Peer Review comes to the AI Scientist. @phylo_bio šŸ¤–šŸ§‘ā€šŸ”¬
AI agents can execute a full biological data analysis in minutes. But in science, what matters is whether you can trust the results. With one click, Scientific Review turns Biomni Lab into its own skeptical peer reviewer, auditing its work for hallucinated claims, flawed scientific reasoning, statistical inconsistencies, and bugs in code. When issues are identified, the agent corrects them and updates the results. Built for scientific work you can trust. Try Biomni Lab: biomni.phylo.bio/ See Scientific Review in action🧵

Congrats to the @valarlabs team!! An early glimpse of this data they just published in @JCO_ASCO was actually the original hook for me to back this team... Fantastic to see further validation in multiple clinical datasets. We are setting the bar for clinical evidence high, but using AI insights that could be available for oncology decision-making *today* is not optional, it's an imperative on behalf of patients Appreciate the partnership with @PanCAN and excited to race towards broad clinical adoption @DrHendifar @Aiims1742 @PancPathologist @a16zBioHealth
We just took the guesswork out of pancreatic cancer treatment. I’m incredibly excited to share that our team’s research has been published in the @JCO_ASCO, one of the world's premier medical oncology journals. Our study proves that AI can find predictive signals in standard pathology slides in one of the hardest to treat cancers. This means we can finally match advanced pancreatic cancer patients to the chemotherapy regimen most likely to work for them—saving time when it matters most. Article: ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO…
