Glen Gower, CEO of Basecamp Research, stated, "There is an enormous data gap that exists today where people are training [biology] models. Some of the top pharma companies the world are training models that simply don't see enough of the natural world." This highlights a significant issue in the existing data sets being used by organizations, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive and diverse biological data to improve AI insights.
Gower further elaborates on their unique approach, stating, "We use a combination of exploration - literally going around the world to pick up data, understand Hot Springs, volcanoes, those sorts of things - and combine that with an artificial intelligence program that is focused purely on training massive language models to produce new biological insights.
Describing their innovative past, co-founder Oliver Vince remarked, "We pioneered the first mobile DNA sequencing laboratory. Those are the components that they've now adapted into very small units to collect data for the newer startup." This underlines their technical expertise and highlights how their previous experience informs their new venture.
