Drug-like antibodies with low immunogenicity in human panels designed with Latent-X2

Latent Labs Team, Henry Kenlay, Daniella Pretorius +15

Drug discovery has long sought computational systems capable of designing drug-like molecules directly: developable and non-immunogenic from the start. Here we introduce Latent-X2,…

Latent-X: An Atom-level Frontier Model for De Novo Protein Binder Design

Latent Labs Team, Alex Bridgland, Jonathan Crabbé +13

Traditional drug discovery relies on rounds of screening millions of candidate molecules with low success rates, making drug discovery time and resource intensive. To overcome this…

Learning Multimodal VAEs through Mutual Supervision

Tom Joy, Yuge Shi, Philip H. S. Torr +3

Multimodal VAEs seek to model the joint distribution over heterogeneous data (e.g.\ vision, language), whilst also capturing a shared representation across such modalities. Prior w…
