Sensible Biotechnologies Slashes Time Taken to Optimize Novel Cell-Based mRNA Therapeutics by More Than 90% with AI Platform Built on NVIDIA Technology
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sensible Biotechnologies, a biotechnology company pioneering a cell-based platform for the design and manufacturing of mRNA therapeutics, today announced an initiative to accelerate the development of next-generation mRNA medicines through AI-driven molecular design powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI.
'By combining our cell-based platform with NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI, we're laying the foundation for programmable, high-performance RNA medicines.' Miroslav Gasparek, CEO and co-founder of Sensible Biotechnologies.
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 Krishna Motheramgari, PhD, Principal Computational Scientist at Sensible Biotechnologies. 'With advanced NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI, we can simulate these dynamics rapidly and accurately, accelerating our design cycle dramatically.'
'This technology integration brings us closer to our vision of rationally designed mRNA therapeutics,' said Miroslav Gasparek, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Sensible Biotechnologies. 'By combining our cell-based platform with NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI, we're laying the foundation for programmable, high-performance RNA medicines.'

Nvidia's market dominance leaves it with 'only one way to go'
Nvidia (NVDA) is dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) chip market, but its lead could shrink as rivals ramp up. Gil Luria, D.A. Davidson head of technology research, joins Market Domination to explain how players like Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Broadcom (AVGO), and Huawei are positioned to chip away at Nvidia's market share. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Domination here. You know, Gil, I, I know some colleagues of yours on the street, big fans of AMD, and they say, you know what, Lisa Su and her team, they're gonna, they're gonna narrow that gap with Jensen Wong and his crew over at Nvidia. I am curious broadly, Gil, how do you see the competitive landscape evolving for Nvidia? Yeah, so that's the other part of it is that, uh, Nvidia has almost the entire market right now. The number 2, the distant number 2 is actually Google TPUs. uh, Broadcom, uh, which, which Broadcom supplies, so in that sense they're also in the mix, but AMD Intel, all those are are really minor players going forward. We expect the the the custom chips made by Broadcom Marvell and others to have a bigger share of the market. AMD to start growing from that very small base but very importantly tying to the conversation you started earlier, Huawei. The more restricted Nvidia is selling into China, the better glide path there is for Huawei to accelerate growth and take bigger and bigger pieces of the market. So again, Nvidia participating just well the shrinking share because they're starting with the owning the almost the entire market, there's only one way to go from there.

Nvidia insiders dump more than $1 billion in stock: report
Insiders at tech giant Nvidia have offloaded more than $1 billion in shares in the last year amid the stock's rapid rise due to the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. The Financial Times reported that over $500 million in stock sales have occurred in the last month as Nvidia shares reached record highs, bringing the total value of insider sales above $1 billion. Nvidia's stock is up over 14% year to date and has risen about 27% over the past year, as the AI chipmaker has reaped the rewards of surging investment in AI models and tools. In the past five years, Nvidia's stock price has been up over 1,543%. The company's market cap has risen above $3.8 trillion. Nvidia Ceo Sells $15M Worth Of Stock As Part Of Planned Sale Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang was among the company's leaders who have recently sold shares, disclosing the sale of 100,000 shares worth around $15 million in a regulatory filing last week. Read On The Fox Business App Huang's sales were part of a previously disclosed plan that was revealed in March and would allow him to sell up to 6 million shares of Nvidia's stock before the end of 2025. If he were to sell all 6 million shares at current prices, Huang would earn over $900 million from the proceeds. Nvidia Shares Rise On Strong Q1 Earnings, Despite Export Control Headwinds Trading plans such as what Huang has used, known as a 105b5-1 plan, are used so that executives and investors with large stakes in a given company can disclose potential sales without surprising the market and causing the transactions to be viewed as a shock. Other Nvidia insiders have also sold shares, including board member Mark Stevens, who has sold $288 million in shares after disclosing a plan to sell up to 4 million shares. Nvidia EVP of worldwide operations sold $25 million in shares, while two board members, Tench Coxe and Brooke Seawell, have sold $143 million and $43 million worth of stock this month, the FT reported. Nvidia Announces Plans To Make Ai Supercomputers In Us For First Time Those transactions follow a rebound in Nvidia's stock following its rapid rise in recent years, which experienced a setback earlier this year when Chinese AI firm DeepSeek released a significant new model. Nvidia has also dealt with headwinds related to export controls on its most advanced AI chips, which restrict sales to countries like China. The company's AI focus and the increased demand for AI advancements have helped Nvidia sustain its momentum despite those setbacks. Huang said in a February interview on FOX Business Network's "The Claman Countdown" that adoption of AI is "incredibly fast" among what he described as the "core technology builders, the model builders and the companies that are building consumer-oriented AIs." Earlier this year, Nvidia announced plans to manufacture AI supercomputers in the U.S., with its advanced Blackwell chips to be made in Arizona and AI supercomputers at facilities in article source: Nvidia insiders dump more than $1 billion in stock: report

Stock Split Watch: Is CrowdStrike Next?
CrowdStrike shares have climbed almost 50% so far this year and recently reached a record high. The company still faces headwinds from an outage last year but has expressed confidence in its future. 10 stocks we like better than CrowdStrike › Last year was a big one for stock splits, with some of the market's most exciting companies, from Nvidia to Broadcom and Chipotle Mexican Grill, taking part. Investors always are on the lookout for these events, and they often happen after a stock has soared over several months or years. The maneuver brings down the price of each individual share, making the stock easier for more investors to buy. So when looking for the next potential stock-split company, it's a great idea to consider recent top performers. And that brings me to CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), a stock that's soared nearly 50% this year to a record high of just over $500. Will CrowdStrike announce a split soon? Let's consider the evidence. First, though, a quick look at stock splits themselves. Splits happen when a company offers additional shares to current holders, but the value of the holders' total position remains the same. By doing this, the price of each individual share declines, but the market value of the company is left unchanged. In fact, nothing fundamental changes after a stock split. So if nothing really changes, why are stock splits viewed as positive? As mentioned, these operations, by lowering the per-share price, make it easier for more investors to get in on the stock. Certain investors don't have access to fractional shares, making it difficult for them to buy stocks once they reach certain levels -- for example, $500 or even $1,000. And others may see those levels as a psychological barrier, even if the stock isn't expensive from a valuation standpoint. A stock split won't lead to a pop in the share price the day of the operation, but over time, it could draw more investors to a particular stock. The second positive point is stock splits may be seen as a sign of confidence from a company's management. If management decides on a split, it's likely these leaders believe the company has what it takes to deliver more share-price growth over time. Now, let's consider the case of CrowdStrike. The cybersecurity giant has seen explosive growth since its initial public offering back in 2019, with revenue soaring into the billions of dollars, and the stock surging more than 1,300%. Customers have flocked to CrowdStrike's artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Falcon system, offered in modules that allow them to design a platform suited to their needs. In fact, the world became so dependent on CrowdStrike that last year a software update glitch led to an outage that brought much global activity to a standstill. The problem has weighed on earnings, with the company offering compensation packages to those affected, and CrowdStrike says these headwinds will continue through this fiscal year. Still, CrowdStrike has maintained solid relationships with customers and continues to deliver double-digit growth. In the latest quarter, revenue advanced 20% to more than $1 billion, and importantly, annual recurring revenue also climbed in the double digits, to $4.4 billion. Now, here's another key point that offers us reason to be confident about CrowdStrike: The company announced an authorization allowing it to buy back $1 billion in shares. A company that aims to buy its own shares generally is confident about its own outlook, but here, we're not limited to making assumptions, because Chief Executive Officer George Kurtz specifically said the "announced share repurchase reflects our confidence in CrowdStrike's future." Against this backdrop, will CrowdStrike announce a split? The company hasn't yet split its stock, so such a move would be a first. Though the level of $500 isn't too intimidating for a tech stock, a stock split at this point could be a wise move for CrowdStrike, since, along with the buyback plan, it would give investors another message of confidence. On top of this, a lower price point could make it easier for the stock to advance. As mentioned, a stock split opens the door to a broader pool of potential investors. Of course, it's impossible to predict with 100% accuracy what this cybersecurity giant will decide. But at today's level, CrowdStrike is ripe for a split, and it could represent a positive move for the company.
