Trained on the Trillion Gene Atlas, a dataset containing information on over 100 billion genes, EDEN is designed to streamline the development of in vivo cell therapies, which involve altering a patient's cells to treat diseases. The company emphasizes that its software facilitates the design of DNA segments and their insertion into cells, addressing the complexity of this process. EDEN also aids in predicting immune responses to new therapies and developing cells equipped with therapeutic cargo.

The newly raised capital will be used to expedite drug development and forge partnerships with pharmaceutical firms to bring AI-designed medicines to market.",
