Inceptive

Inceptive builds end-to-end foundation models that learn to design molecules directly from diverse observations of life. We specialize in sequence-based medicines like mRNA, siRNA, ASOs, and peptides where sequence is instrumental to function.

We partner with leading drugmakers to customize foundation models for their discovery programs. Then we co-design novel medicines and empower our partners to take them to the clinic.

Our antedisciplinary team of scientists, AI researchers, and engineers works together on “the beach” where wet and dry meet and new ideas come to life. To explore new frontiers and design better medicines, we have to abandon what we thought we knew. We continuously start from scratch, ask new questions together, and follow the data. 

We’re hiring scientists and engineers across AI and bio with the drive to optimize black box models for medicine.

Data selection and quality evaluation for biological foundation models
Inceptive Berlin, Germany
Full job description At Inceptive, you will help pioneer the next generation of AI-designed drugs, with the potential to positively impact billions of people, as part of a collaborative, antedisciplinary team. We advance the state of the art in molecular design by training large-scale foundation models that enable cutting-edge generative approaches. Those models depend on rich, high-quality experimental data that captures biological function. Progress requires not only building better models, but also designing better experiments, understanding measurement systems, and generating datasets that faithfully represent underlying biology. You will collaborate closely with biologists and machine learning researchers to design, analyze, and improve the experiments that power our models. You will help determine what data should be generated, how experiments should be structured, how measurement artifacts can be identified, and how biological insights can be translated...
