Radical Numerics launched with $50 million in seed funding on June 15, 2026 [1]. The AI research lab was founded by the creators of the Evo and Evo 2 generative genomics models [1][2]. This new venture aims to develop "general biological intelligence" that can reason across DNA, RNA, and proteins [1][3].
The team focuses on scaling biological models to understand the complex relationships within life sciences [2]. By integrating multiple layers of genetic information, the lab plans to accelerate research in medicine and synthetic biology [3]. This seed round represents a significant investment in the intersection of generative AI and genomics [1].
