My take on @DCVC portfolio company @RelationRx’s new foundation model for cellular biology, called MORGAN—and the massive @gsk $110M deal to apply it to untreated or under-treated diseases.
"Building a general-purpose cellular foundation model is a hugely challenging project, and could prove to be the most audacious step forward in biological computation since the emergence of models like AlphaFold for protein structure prediction or Boltz for understanding molecular interactions."

Today is a major milestone for Relation.
We're expanding our collaboration with GSK to deploy MORGAN, our flagship cellular foundation model, at a new scale. This deal will bring up to $110 million in upfront and success-based milestone payments to Relation.
The patient is waiting.

When we first set up @RelationRx, we collaborated with the @GarvanInstitute to develop single-cell protocols to process cells embedded within human bone. It's great to see that work has now been published in @NatureGenet !
[Our internal dataset is actually now *substantially* larger ;) ]

Today we’re announcing a new collaboration between @RelationRx and @Novartis to accelerate the discovery of drug targets for atopic diseases. These conditions affect hundreds of millions of people globally, and better understanding their underlying biology is essential to delivering more effective medicines.
As our CEO David Roblin shared today in Bloomberg, too many programmes fail because we don’t yet understand the biology well enough at the start. This partnership brings together Novartis’ strength in immunology with Relation’s patient-derived data and AI platform to help change that.
The patient is waiting.

Huge achievement by the Rosalind team at @RelationRx showing our now award-winning SOTA approach to DNA transformer models 🔥
Join us at @NeurIPSConf #NeurIPS and meet us in person: @wildtypehuman, @cristianregep, Lindsay Edwards, Rosie Rodriguez, Sara-Jane Dunn, and Alice Del Vecchio!
In the last few years I’ve built a DNA modelling team in industry @RelationRx. Our recent work just won 🏆 Best Paper at the @AI4D3 workshop at #NeurIPS, and we’ll be giving a talk. A few co-authors and I will be in San Diego this week and would love to connect with others passionate about DNA modelling.
🎤 Dec 6th, — San Diego Convention Center, Upper Level, Room 28A–E

Heading to San Diego for #NeurIPS2025 , ping me if you want to chat on active learning, reinforcement learning, and applications of deep learning in genomics (single cell, spatial, etc).

Hiring someone for a very exciting project at the intersection of wet-lab and dry-lab. Generating spatial transcriptomics data and then analysing it. You need to be happy to get your hands dirty...!

ALT Prior to co-founding Relation Therapeutics, Dr. Jake Taylor-King was an academic and industry researcher interested in company formation at the intersection of technology, computation, and the clinic. Previously an award-winning mathematician (G-Research prize, Lee Segel Prize), he has degrees from Bristol, Oxford, Cambridge, before later transitioning to biomedicine and genomics at ETH Zürich. Jake’s role as Chief Innovation Officer at Relation cuts across many functions, including leading an experimental technology development group, engaging in ML research, and designing clinical studies for patient tissue access.
