AI platform that interfaces with real biology to visually compute inside biological pathways.

Tool: Lightning.AI
Description: AI platform that interfaces with real biology to visually compute inside biological pathways.
Summary: Lightning.AI is designed to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and real biological processes. It enables AI to visually interact with cells, identifying and computing disease pathways in real time. This technology supports hypothesis generation and validation within a closed discovery loop, grounded in actual disease biology. By training on over 2 billion pathway visualizations, it can distinguish between healthy and diseased cells, offering a novel approach to drug discovery and development.
Category: Drug Discovery
Tags: Precision Medicine, Data Analysis
Use Cases: Discover non-genetic disease drivers by visually computing pathway dysfunction in real human cells.; Predict tissue-specific risks and efficacy by visually computing pathway responses across cell types.
Platform: Web
Vendor: Anima Biotech
Target Users: Researcher
Pricing: unclear
Regulatory: not a medical device
Meta: Lightning.AI by Anima Biotech interfaces AI with real biology, enabling visual computation of disease pathways for drug discovery.

Enabling AI to see and talk to cells, visually computing inside the biology. Validated by strategic partnerships with AbbVie, Takeda, and Lilly, and a pipeline of 20+ programs across therapeutic areas. $4.3B Total deal value 1.90B+ PathwayLight images 19 Programs in pipeline ## Powered by a new modality: Visual Computing ## Compute visually with Biological Pathways **Pathways are the language of disease biology - Now AI Can see them** The Biology Runtime Layer of AI lets LLMs compute visually with real biological pathways, enabling AI to reason in biology ## Visual Biology Runtime Agent With Visual Biology Runtime Agent, front-end LLMs compute directly on cells in a closed discovery loop where hypothesis generation and validation are grounded in real disease blology. The agent acts as a biology GPU - an experimental co-processor that enables models to reason about disease by visually computing on real cellular biology. Multiple agents can be chained to bulild Al-scale biological compute infrastructure. ## Imaging Neural Networks Recognize disease pathways in cells Trained on over 2 billion pathway visualizations, our Visual Biology Neural Networks can see the difference between healthy and diseased cells, recognizing disease pathways unfold in real time. Transforming images into discovery engines. Putting Visual Biology into action. ## PathwayLight™ Sees pathways in action Designed to visualize thousands of biological pathways across dozens of cell systems, PathwayLight captures functional changes in mRNA regulation, protein interactions, and organelle behavior at single-cell, spatial resolution. Seeing pathway biology in motion. Turning intracellular processes into functional data. ## The "Biology GPU" Running experiments on a dedicated infrastructure unit for visual computing, accessible through the visual biology agent. ### Connect your AI Models to “Biology GPU” across your discovery programs No infrastructure to build, no labs to manage, deploy in the private cloud where your models live.
