🍃 🧬 Basecamp Research is unlocking nature’s blueprint to accelerate breakthroughs in drug discovery, R&D, and beyond. With #AI accelerated by Microsoft Azure and NVIDIA, they’re creating one of the world’s largest biological databases—fueling scientific innovation across…
AI’s next leap in drug discovery needs new data. Our friends at @apheris_AI are helping pharma pool what they have. At @Basecamp_Res, we built a new dataset from scratch. When trained on only a fraction of it, AlphaFold made 6x more accurate predictions. Excited to be supporting…
We’re thrilled to share that Basecamp Research has been named to @FastCompany’s 2025 World’s Most Innovative Companies list! 🚀 A huge thank you to our incredible team, partners, and the wider scientific community who support our mission. We’re just getting started, and we…
As the world shifts and industries transform, the World’s Most Innovative Companies aren't just keeping up—they're setting the pace.
.@Basecamp_Res just unveiled BaseData: the world’s most diverse biological dataset, built from over 1 million novel species and 9.8 billion protein sequences. It’s a major leap forward for AI-powered biology—fueling breakthroughs in therapeutics, sustainability, and beyond. More…
AI sees differently. But when most of the data looks the same, there's not much for it to learn. That’s the case in biology—where a staggering 68% of all sequence data in the SRA comes from just five species. 🧬 (1/N)
🧬 News alert: We’re bringing BaseData out of stealth — the world’s largest and fastest growing biodiscovery dataset, built in collaboration with scientists across 26 countries. 🔍 BaseData adds 9.8 billion newly discovered protein sequences to the known tree of life — expanding…
