Two companies sold roughly $90 billion of one drug class last year. That class will hit $200 billion by 2030. Most of the value is still locked behind problems AI is uniquely good at solving: oral delivery, tolerability, manufacturing, and patient matching.

If you are building or investing in AI for biology, this is the most concentrated profit pool in healthcare and the cleanest case study for where AI moves the needle in drug development. Here is what is actually going on, what is already won, and what is still open.

In this issue

  1. What peptides actually are (and how they differ from normal drugs)

  2. Why peptides are exploding now: the five unlocks

  3. The peptide family map: leaders, niches, and frontier

  4. What AI can solve that traditional chemistry can’t

  5. Is GLP-1 actually the biggest opportunity?
