$BIOAPress releaseOct 14, 2026, 8:00 AM ETRead the release

BioAge Labs and Deep Origin announced a multi-target AI-driven drug discovery collaboration whose first milestone has been met: computationally identified small-molecule hits against a novel BioAge target were validated in BioAge's wet lab. Under the agreement, Deep Origin screens BioAge's selected targets using its DODock/DOScore virtual screening platform; BioAge validates hits, leads optimization, and drives clinical development, with Deep Origin eligible for success-based milestone payments. BioAge is advancing the first target into hit-to-lead optimization after Deep Origin delivered multiple structurally distinct hits in under three months.
