Parallel Bio started in San Francisco. Juliana and Robert were roommates here when they founded the company in 2021, and ever since the Bay Area has been a home base for our investors, our scientific roots, and the vision behind what we're building.

Last week we made it official. We're bringing all U.S. operations to our San Francisco Bay Area flagship site, unifying our computational and biological teams under one roof. In a world where AI and biotech are influencing each other daily, close proximity to both communities matters.

For us, this is straightforward. Our platform lives at the intersection of wet lab biology and computational modeling. Having those two functions in the same building changes how fast we can move and how tightly we can integrate the work. That matters when your partners are running drug programs on accelerated timelines to serve patients with high unmet need.

We're also welcoming five new advisors: Shane Crotty, professor and chief scientific officer of one of the world’s leading immunology institutes; Ron Philip, former CEO of Orbital Therapeutics and Spark Therapeutics; Andre Esteva, CEO and co-founder of ArteraAI; Rick Bright, founder and CEO of Bright Global Health; and Jason Kichen, chief information security officer of Fluidstack and adjunct faculty at UC Berkeley. Their experience spans immunology, drug development, AI for medicine, and data security: exactly the areas where we need sharp outside perspectives as we scale.

We’re excited to have all of these functions under one roof and to have these incredibly impressive folks as part of the team. Speaking of expanding the team, we're hiring! If you're a scientist or engineer ready to work on human biology at the cutting edge, we'd love to hear from you. https://www.parallel.bio/careers
