Hi, Community!
I’m Sid, founder of [Purna AI](https://purna.ai). We’ve been building a Molecular Intelligence Platform for the last few months, and now it’s in research preview. It’s a single workspace where molecular medicine teams can go from raw biology data to interpretation without juggling a dozen disconnected tools.
**The problem:**
If you work in clinical genomics, rare disease research computational biology, or similar fields, your workflow probably looks like this: export variants from one tool, look up annotations in another, cross-reference ClinVar, check gnomAD frequencies, read ACMG guidelines in a PDF, pull up a protein structure viewer separately, then paste everything into a report. Multiply that by hundreds of variants per case.
It’s slow, error-prone, and most of the “analysis” time is actually spent on context-switching or copy-pasting existing scripts.
**What MIP does:**
- Singular Workspace for Biological Analysis (Genetics, Epigenetics, Single Cell RNA, and more)
- AI can write complex pipelines, execute on a secure compute instance, and give you results in natural language
- Variant analysis with ACMG classification built in
- Integrated with 30+ clinical databases (ClinVar, gnomAD, OMIM, UniProt, etc.)
- Protein structure prediction with Chat. Compare Wildtype vs Mutant Variations.
- AI-assisted interpretation, reclassification, and reporting
- Auditable Case management so nothing falls through the cracks.
The AI layer is the key differentiator. **We benchmarked it against 1,600 genomics queries from an Oxford dataset and hit 90%+ accuracy.** But more importantly, it handles the kind of nuanced, multi-step reasoning that comes up in real casework for eg. “is this VUS in a conserved domain?”, “what’s the functional impact given this patient’s phenotype?”, “are there any recent publications reclassifying this variant?”
**The backstory:**
I’m an engineer, not a biologist. We started building in the Preventive Healthcare (early diagnosis) space, watching clinicians work with fragmented tools while making critical diagnostic decisions felt like a solvable problem. My co-founder Dr. Gitanjali (CMO) keeps us grounded in clinical reality.
**Where we are:**
Early stage, two founders. We are now inviting Scientists & Biologists around the world to test more complex cases. We have already processed over 50 samples ourselves on the platform, and seeing Ph.D Grade Results.
**What I’d love from Rainmatter Community:**
- If you work in genomics, bioinformatics, drug discovery, or similar fields, we’d love to give this to you and your team for early feedback.
- If you’ve built developer tools or “IDE-for-X” products: what did you learn about adoption in specialized domains?
- If you’ve done B2B SaaS for life sciences: any hard-won lessons on selling to labs and research institutions?

Interesting ..Would like to discuss and explore possibilities in Purna AI.. I am looking for proteomics study.
