AI-based drug developer Basecamp valued at $800 million after $140 million funding round

The oversubscribed round will fund next-generation EDEN models and AI-designed therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, the company said.

  • On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, London-based Basecamp Research announced it raised $140 million in a Series C funding round, valuing the AI-based drug developer at $800 million.
  • The oversubscribed financing, led by S32, will fund the development of the company's EDEN models, which are trained on its proprietary Trillion Gene Atlas dataset collected across more than 30 countries.
  • Investors including NVIDIA, Anthropic, and the Rockefeller Foundation joined the round, while S32 General Partner Andy Conrad, former CEO of Google's Verily, joins the Basecamp board of directors.
  • Basecamp aims to develop in vivo cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, seeking to lower costs compared to current treatments that the company said cost "hundreds of thousands of dollars per patient."
  • While the company has demonstrated strong preclinical results, Basecamp co-founder and CEO Glen Gowers said the funding brings this technology closer to patients, though no clinical trial timeline was provided.
