Biotech company Mana.bio has announced the launch of Mina, the world's first large language model (LLM) built specifically for lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
Mina, described as a "ChatGPT for LNPs", will be publicly available at no cost, marking a significant step forward in accelerating scientific discovery and advancing the future of gene therapy and RNA-based medicines.
"AI has transformed many industries, but biology is only beginning to realise its full potential," said Yogev Debi, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mana.bio.
"At Mana, we've already achieved breakthroughs in RNA delivery by harnessing AI, showing how it can unlock entirely new science."
"With the launch of Mina, we're not just introducing a tool — we're opening a new chapter in how science is done."
"We envision a future where AI-driven platforms accelerate discovery, bridge the gap between bench and bedside and ultimately improve human health."
Mina represents a breakthrough tool for scientists working in RNA delivery and therapeutics development.
By providing free access to curated data, predictive modelling and optimised formulation insights, Mina will accelerate the pace of discovery, reduce barriers to innovation and enable researchers to pursue novel therapies with greater precision and confidence.
Mina is available to researchers and scientific professionals worldwide with select features designed to support experimentation, data analysis and LNP design.
Mina will offer users the following:
- Predictive modelling: predict critical LNP characteristics, such as particle size, enabling researchers to optimise formulations earlier in the development process
- Curated data retrieval: provides access to normalised, high-quality data from trusted, public scientific sources, ensuring accuracy and reliability
- Formulation optimisation: offers guidance on key performance factors such as stability, tropism and safety to accelerate the path from concept to clinic
- Exploration of public data: enables discovery of patterns and trends across existing LNP research to fuel innovation.
Whilst Mana.bio will retain exclusive access to its most advanced predictive models and proprietary datasets, the company is committed to collaborating with partners interested in leveraging Mina's full platform capabilities.
