22.3.2022 18:02:09 CET | Business Wire | Press release
Alchemab Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of naturally-occurring protective antibodies and immune repertoire-based patient stratification tools, has been selected by NVIDIA to harness the power of the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, Cambridge-1 . Alchemab will use the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD supercomputing cluster, powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, to gain greater understanding and insights from its extensive neurology and oncology datasets.
“We are honored to collaborate with NVIDIA to advance our work applying machine learning to the prediction of antibody structure and function,” said Douglas A. Treco, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Alchemab Therapeutics. “Using Cambridge-1, Alchemab will vastly accelerate our capabilities and we are excited about the potential to collaborate with NVIDIA’s world-leading team to better understand the language of antibodies.”
Craig Rhodes, EMEA Industry Lead for Healthcare and Life Sciences at NVIDIA, commented: “Cambridge-1 enables the application of machine learning to help solve the most pressing clinical challenges, advance health research through digital biology, and unlock a deeper understanding of diseases. The system drives workloads that are scaled and optimised for supercomputing and will help extraordinary organisations like Alchemab, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, to further their research on antibodies and other protective therapeutics for hard to treat diseases.”
“Our collaboration with NVIDIA will unlock countless opportunities to advance Alchemab’s state-of-the-art platform, facilitating the discovery of novel therapeutics and patient stratification techniques,” said Jake Galson, PhD, Head of Technology at Alchemab Therapeutics. “Machine learning is accelerating research across multiple therapeutic areas and will be pivotal in helping Alchemab predict the function of novel antibodies based on their sequence alone.”
An individual’s antibody repertoire encodes information about past immune responses and potential for future disease protection. Alchemab believes that deciphering information stored in these antibody sequence datasets will transform the fundamental understanding of disease and enable discovery of novel diagnostics and antibody therapeutics. Using self-supervised machine learning, Alchemab has developed antibody-specific language model AntiBERTa (Antibody-specific Bi-directional Encoder Representation from Transformers), a 12-layer transformer model which provides a contextualized numeric representation of antibody sequences. AntiBERTa learns biologically relevant information and is primed for multiple downstream tasks which are improving our understanding of the language of antibodies.
Attend Alchemab’s session on deciphering the language of antibodies on March 24 at GTC , a free to register global AI conference. Find more details on the Nvidia Inception program here . Find project updates and more information on Cambridge-1 projects here .
About Alchemab
Alchemab has developed a highly differentiated platform which enables the identification of novel drug targets, therapeutics and patient stratification tools by analysis of patient antibody repertoires. The platform uses well-defined patient samples, deep B cell sequencing and computational analysis to identify convergent protective antibody responses among individuals that are susceptible but resilient to specific diseases.
Alchemab is building a broad pipeline of protective therapeutics for hard-to-treat diseases, with an initial focus on neurodegenerative conditions and oncology. The highly specialized patient samples that power Alchemab’s platform are made available through valued partnerships and collaborations with patient representative groups, biobanks, industry partners and academic institutions.

Cognite Positioned as a Front Runner in LNS Research Solution Selection Matrix for Industrial AI Platforms23.4.2026 20:00:00 CEST | Press release
Cognite, the global leader in Industrial AI, has been named a Front Runner in the LNS Research Solution Selection Matrix for Industrial AI Platforms (SSM). The LNS Research SSM evaluates vendors using a rigorous methodology that leverages its “3P” framework—Product, Potential, and Presence—to assess both current capabilities and future readiness. Within the report, Cognite is recognized in three key areas: depth in user-centric industrial AI applications, its knowledge graph-based data model, and its strong partner ecosystem. Together, all three give Cognite the ability to unify and contextualize complex industrial data, enabling organizations to operationalize AI at scale. “Cognite brings a sophisticated data model built for industrial complexities, along with advanced analytics and AI-driven insights, which is crucial for industrial organizations to achieve meaningful productivity gains and enterprise-wide ROI,” said Vivek Murugesan, Research Analyst at LNS Research. “These capabilit
Venture Global Announces Closing of $750,000,000 Senior Secured Notes by Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC23.4.2026 19:47:00 CEST | Press release
Venture Global, Inc. (“Venture Global”, NYSE: VG) announced today that its subsidiary, Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC (“VGCP”) has closed an offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior secured notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on May 1, 2036. VGCP used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand and proceeds received from certain hedge terminations, for the prepayment, in full, of VGCP’s outstanding term loans, and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering. The Notes are guaranteed by TransCameron Pipeline, LLC (VGCP’s affiliate). The Notes are secured on a pari passu basis by a first-priority security interest in the assets that secure VGCP’s existing senior secured first lien credit facilities and VGCP’s existing senior secured notes. The Notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdictions, and the Notes
Does Muscle Composition Identify High-Risk Individuals in Chronic Kidney Disease? New AMRA Medical Study Says Yes, Reveals Strong Link to Mortality23.4.2026 17:10:00 CEST | Press release
AMRA Medical researchers recently set out to answer the question: what is the relationship between adverse muscle composition (AMC) and mortality in kidney disease? Recent findings demonstrate that AMC, characterized by low muscle volume z-score and high muscle fat infiltration, is an independent and strong predictor of all-cause mortality in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The findings, published in Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, were based on data from the UK Biobank imaging study and further reinforce the clinical relevance of MRI-derived muscle biomarkers in identifying high-risk populations across chronic diseases. This press release features multimedia.
