About Vignesh Karthik
Vignesh is the COO of Anthrogen. As a student at Columbia Engineering, he studied Applied Math with a focus on Geology before dropping out after his sophomore year. He has been working in data science and geology since early high school, beginning with his research at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. Shortly after he was recruited as a freshman to work for Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the worlds leading Earth Institute. Before dropping out he also worked as an Entrepreneurship Fellow.

Proteins power everything from the cells in your body to creating materials you rely on every day—but until now, we’ve been forced to discover their functions by trial and error. Designing a new therapeutic can take decades and billions of dollars, and even our best industrial catalysts work at a snail’s pace compared to their theoretical optimums.
Anthrogen is changing that. By training massive AI foundation models on protein sequences and structures, we’ve unlocked the ability to generate—on demand—completely novel molecular machines with atomic-level precision. Simply describe the function you need, and our platform imagines the peptide or protein that will deliver it.
We're building models to speed up billions of years of evolution into the span of an afternoon's worth of compute.
The result? New-to-nature therapies, ultra-efficient catalysts for sustainable manufacturing, and a whole new frontier of molecular innovation—designed as precisely as any cutting-edge aircraft or microchip.
