SynBioBeta 2026. May 4-7, San Jose, California

AI is compressing drug discovery timelines. Cell therapies are moving from boutique treatments to scalable manufacturing. Longevity research is producing its first clinical-stage interventions. The founders building these companies and the pharma leaders evaluating them are both at SynBioBeta this May. So are the investors funding them and the government agencies backing the foundational research.

What you'll find in this part of the program: Xaira, GSK, Noetik, and Recursion on virtual biology and bridging the gap between cell-level predictions and real patient outcomes Jacob Glanville and Tim Friede on programmable immunity and the path from 200+ snake bites to engineered universal antivenom J&J and Eli Lilly on how startups become pharma-ready and how external innovation teams evaluate partnerships Latent Labs, Strand, and Sanofi on AI-designed RNA medicines and molecular therapeutics Boltz, Novo Nordisk, and UCSF on modeling protein dynamics in motion David Sinclair, Leroy Hood, Jeanne Loring, and ARPA-H on longevity, tissue replacement, and the biology of aging.

Who’s Coming to SynBioBeta?

“SynBioBeta is a who’s who of AI and biology.
This is where the future is being built, so don't miss it”

Eric Schmidt

Former CEO

"For every single fund at Boom Capital, one of our best companies has come directly from SynBioBeta. I met Mammoth Bio at SynBioBeta, and I met Nabla Bio at SynBioBeta."

Celestine Schnugg

Founder

"Nabla was accelerated into existence because of SynBioBeta. I met Seth Bannon from 50 Years, Cee Cee Schnugg from Boom Capital, and others from Y Combinator there, and those same people seeded Nabla. The vibe, leverage, and energy at SynBioBeta are unreal."

Surge Biswas

"Our Series A came together because of a little bit of SynBioBeta magic. I’ve been attending for a decade and it’s been inspiring to watch the field evolve from a lot of hopes and dreams to real products and applications."

Jacob Glanville

Founder & CEO

"I met Algen at SynBioBeta and later invested in the company. It’s exactly the kind of connection that makes the community so valuable."
