Sensible Biotechnologies Slashes Time Taken to Optimize Novel Cell-Based mRNA Therapeutics by More Than 90% with AI Platform Built on NVIDIA Technology
Sensible has developed a unique design, optimization, and manufacturing process for producing mRNA drugs within living cells. The mRNA platform, which can include a range of novel modifications, creates a pure and low-immunogenicity drug product, unlocking new therapeutic areas with safe, effective, affordable and repeatable mRNA therapeutics. This replaces traditional in vitro transcription methods, which are unable to meet the demands of next-generation therapies for cancer, rare diseases, gene editing, and other unmet medical needs.
To enable predictive and precise mRNA sequence design, Sensible’s proprietary closed-loop AI-powered design and optimization platform models RNA folding from raw sequence to stable conformation. It integrates NVIDIA technology, including NVIDIA BioNeMo framework and NVIDIA NIM microservices on the NVIDIA DGX Cloud platform with NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, to apply physics-based simulations and machine learning to understand how RNA folds and behaves in complex biological environments.
Using DGX Cloud with NVIDIA H100 80 GB and double-precision performance, Sensible achieves over 11,000 simulation steps per second. This performance enables the team to screen multiple RNA candidates in parallel, reducing simulation runtimes from overnight to under an hour per sequence.
By incorporating NVIDIA technology, Sensible has cut its mRNA optimization cycles from 15 days to just one – a reduction of more than 90%. This efficiency enables faster iteration and informed sequence optimization, giving Sensible the ability to rapidly manipulate mRNA design space and advance the next generation of life-saving medicines.
“Producing therapeutic mRNA inside living cells requires solving intricate biological problems, from RNA folding to packaging,” said
“This technology integration brings us closer to our vision of rationally designed mRNA therapeutics,” said
