discover novel and breakthrough treatments for patients with severe
and devastating conditions. Genesis was founded on groundbreaking
molecular ML research and has established itself as the industry
leader in AI for small molecule drug discovery.Our team has created
the industry's most advanced molecular AI platform called GEMS
(Genesis Exploration of Molecular Space), to accelerate and
optimize small molecule drug discovery and to enable the discovery
of novel first-in-class and best-in-class small molecule drugs for
challenging and/or undruggable targets.The company has leveraged
GEMS to build an internal pipeline with multiple programs against
high-value targets, including data-poor and canonically undruggable
targets where GEMS is uniquely advantaged. In addition, Genesis has
three AI platform collaborations across a range of therapeutic
areas, with Gilead Sciences, Eli Lilly, and Genentech.We raised a
$200M series B in August 2023, and have raised over $300M in
funding from top technology and biotech investors, including
Andreessen Horowitz, Rock Springs Capital, T. Rowe Price, Fidelity,
Radical Ventures, NVentures (NVIDIA's VC arm), BlackRock, and Menlo
Ventures.Genesis is headquartered in Burlingame, CA, with a fully
integrated laboratory in San Diego. We are proud to be an inclusive
workplace and an Equal Opportunity Employer.
