Dive into the groundbreaking approaches of companies like VivoDyne, Seer, Ordaos, Insilico Medicine, and Alchemab, who are pushing boundaries in drug R&D through microfluidic bioengineering, proteome mapping, AI-driven drug design, and resilient antibody discovery.

Mendel enables life sciences to index patient journeys at scale and learn from them at the speed of real-time dialogues. The journey started in 2017 from a two-person office in Silicon Valley with commitment to building novel technology and not to be another “Boy Who Cried Wolf” AI company. To do that, we have invested 4 years and millions of dollars in R&D before launching our first model in 2020. Today, Mendel is the most-funded clinical NLP startup with a team of 100+ members, blue chip investors, and some of the world’s leading life sciences companies as customers.
