MIT-linked startup OpenProtein.AI has launched a new no-code platform for protein engineering [1]. The software gives biologists direct access to foundation models for designing proteins and predicting structures [1]. Researchers can now train custom models without needing expertise in machine learning or coding [1]. The platform aims to accelerate the development of treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases [1]. By removing technical barriers, the startup allows scientists to focus on biological outcomes rather than data science [1]. This democratization of AI tools could significantly shorten the timeline for modern drug discovery [1].
