Who’s involved

Medratechnology provider

Medra is building the first [Physical AI Scientist](https://www.medra.ai) — a closed-loop system that tightly integrates AI scientific reasoning with autonomous wet-lab experimentation. Founded in 2022, the San Francisco company operates [ML001](/models/ml001), a 38,000 sq ft autonomous lab where hundreds of off-the-shelf robots run continuous experiments across antibody discovery, protein engineering, gene editing, and cell biology. Partners including Genentech, Addition Therapeutics, Cultivarium, and DARPA access the platform through on-site deployments or remote operation.
