BioSpectrum Asia
|BioSpectrum Asia Sep 2025
PhnyX Lab, a pioneering GenAI startup from South Korea transforming how life science companies operate, has announced the successful closing of a $4 million seed round through a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE). The round was led by SK Networks, with participation from several prominent angel investors—including Aidan Gomez, co-founder and CEO of Cohere, and Illia Polos-ukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol—both of whom are original co-authors of "Attention Is All You Need," the paradigm-shifting work that ushered in the transformer era and laid the foundation for today's generative AI models, including ChatGPT.

The Future of mRNA Is Being Built in APAC
Beyond scientific advancement, mRNA represents a strategic opportunity shaped by policy stability, public investment and regional collaboration. Across APAC, governments are increasingly recognising that supportive regulatory frameworks and long-term funding can serve as powerful competitive advantages, attracting global capital and talent. While political dynamics in the United States have slowed momentum, experts emphasise that the science underpinning mRNA technology remains sound. To fully realise its potential, the region will need greater coordination across borders, including regulatory harmonisation and joint development pathways, to build a resilient mRNA ecosystem capable of addressing shared health challenges and driving long-term innovation.
