About the company

What they build and who they serve.

Aureka Biotechnologies is a tech-bio company founded in 2023 with R&D operations in Suzhou and California that develops antibody therapeutics through its proprietary AuraIDE generative-AI platform. The platform pairs foundation models and AI agents with a high-throughput single-cell functional screening system to design differentiated antibodies for cardiometabolic, immune, and central-nervous-system disease targets that are difficult to address with conventional discovery methods. The company has built a BD/NewCo collaboration model with multiple multinational pharmaceutical companies and is preparing its first internally-designed antibody to enter clinical trials.
