Switchpoint Bio raises $5.3 million for AI epigenomics platform

Nov 11, 2026
Switchpoint Bio raised $5.3 million to develop a platform that uses AI and blood based epigenomic profiling to measure biological changes during treatment.

Switchpoint Bio emerged from stealth with $5.3 million in pre seed financing, including $5 million from Treehouse Delmar Investments, according to Tech.eu. The Helsinki and Cambridge biotech startup is developing an AI platform that measures biological changes during treatment through blood samples.

The platform combines AI with targeted DNA methylation profiling of circulating immune cells. It is designed to identify disease related immune states and track changes after treatment without repeated tissue biopsies.

Switchpoint Bio is testing the approach in autoimmune disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus. The funding will support clinical and industry validation, expansion of clinical and biobank datasets, further platform development, and growth of its scientific and technical teams.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
