Mana.bio

Mana.bio is an AI-driven drug-delivery biotechnology company specializing in programmable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for nucleic-acid therapeutics and vaccines, including mRNA, DNA, and CRISPR-based gene therapy. The company runs a closed-loop design-build-test-learn platform that uses machine-learning models to design novel LNP candidates, synthesizes dozens of formulations weekly via high-throughput automation, screens them with comprehensive assays, and feeds results back to continuously improve its models — targeting precise, optimized extrahepatic delivery. Mana.bio also operates Mina (ChatLNP), an AI agent that helps scientists explore curated literature, predict LNP properties, and optimize formulations, plus an LNP patents / freedom-to-operate map. The company is backed by a16z. Mana.bio publishes no first-party developer or product API; its only public agent surface is a Wix Site MCP endpoint and an llms.txt on its site.

Mana.bio is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Drug Delivery, Lipid Nanoparticles, and Gene Therapy.

Mana.bio’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 6 more developer resources.
