Now successfully commercialized through Ottawa-based startup NuvoBio, DarwinAI is already supporting the design of new peptide-based treatments, turning Carleton research into real-world impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Kyle Biggar (Institute of Biochemistry) has been named a 2026 recipient of the Carleton IP Impact Award for co-developing DarwinAI, an artificial intelligence platform designed to accelerate peptide drug discovery.
