Venomics AI
Sequences animal venoms collected across India, measures what their peptides do against human drug targets by electrophysiology in its own lab, and keeps the results as the Venom Atlas, a dataset of venom peptides tied to measured activity. Models built on open foundations such as ESM and AlphaFold are trained on it to rank candidates, flag toxicity and redesign venom scaffolds; its stated targets are ion channels, in pain, cardiac and insulin signalling, and insecticidal peptides for crop pests.
