Imagine sending medicines precisely to where they are needed in the body and nowhere else. We're making this vision a reality through our AND™️ Platform, which powers the production of programmed biologics, called AND-Body therapeutics.

About us
Ampersand Biomedicines enables a new way of designing programmable medicines that work precisely where needed in the body and nowhere else. The company’s state-of-the-art computationally powered Address, Navigate, Design (AND)™ Platform continually learns the rules for identifying optimal localizer targets and refines its ability to design across the complex space of localizers and actuators. The result is increasingly sophisticated AND-Body™ therapeutics that are engineered across the physical constraints of molecules and the biological characteristics of the targets to effectively target the site of disease without affecting healthy tissue or cells. Ampersand Biomedicines was founded in 2020 at Flagship Labs, a unit of Flagship Pioneering.

#ANDinnovator spotlight! Claudia Wurzenberger, VP of Project Management, says she was late to discover her love for STEM, and would have never envisioned a career in science until some inspiring teachers and supportive parents encouraged her to follow her own path. That journey led her to Ampersand, where she's able to pursue her passion alongside a diverse, collaborative team.

Last week, we attended the Flagship Pioneering AI Engineering Hackathon, an event hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) focused on building AI tools to enable asking natural language questions over our datasets. Members from Ampersand's computational biology team developed a system using state-of-the-art large language models and AWS resources to efficiently query our proprietary AND-Platform™️ address map. The system was presented during the hackathon, earning them the 'Most Practical Solution' award. Congrats, Team Ampersand! #innovation #biotechnology #AI #ML #ANDinnovators
