Somite

Somite.ai is developing AI foundation models for human stem cells to drive novel cell therapies at scale. They take a full-stack approach—generating data at 1,000x lower cost, training large-scale models with unmatched predictive power, and using these models to discover, refine, and optimize high-impact applications in cell therapy. Their founding team includes repeat AI entrepreneur Dr. Micha Breakstone (Chorus.ai, acquired for $575M), the Head of the Fundamental AI Group at MIT (pioneered the foundational research on scaling laws), and three Harvard Medical School professors and National Academy of Sciences/Medicine members, including the Chair of the Genetics Department at HMS.
