Astromech is an artificial intelligence company co-founded by entrepreneur Ben Lamm and Harvard geneticist George Church that develops AI models to predict how biological systems change over time. Rather than training on language or images, Astromech combines genomic, evolutionary, and functional biology data drawn from billions of years of evolutionary history across both living and extinct species. Its goal is to anticipate how traits emerge, where biological systems become vulnerable, and how organisms, diseases, and populations may change, with potential applications in drug discovery, aging research, disease resistance, conservation, and pandemic preparedness.
