Biology today is fragmented across PDFs, spreadsheets, and databases. Humans stitch results together manually, often irreproducibly. Designers got Figma. Analysts got Excel. Software engineers got IDEs. It’s time biologists get tools that reflect the way science actually works. @phylo_bio is building the first “Integrated Biology Environment” (IBE) – a single place where hypotheses are generated, experiments are planned, data is analyzed, models are run, and results are produced in a way that’s auditable and reproducible. Phylo’s cofounders Kexin Huang and Yuanhao Qu are the team for this problem: Kexin has spent close to a decade pursuing an “AI scientist” since before the category was defined, and Yuanhao has deep domain expertise in experimental and computational biology. Together they built Biomni – a popular open-source biomedical research agent that became the first concrete step toward Phylo’s IBE platform. Today they’re releasing Biomni Lab, an enterprise-grade environment built on the foundation of Biomni ready for production scientific use. We’re proud to co-lead Phylo’s $13.5M seed round and partner with a team uniquely suited to build a native environment for scientific discovery – an AI scientist built by and for scientists.
