During its first year, the ai² Futures Lab™ engaged 64 students and identified more than 45 potential assets, several of which advanced into active pipeline discussions. The program expands Lōkahi’s sourcing reach and analytical capacity while supporting a disciplined, capital-efficient approach to pipeline development.
SDSU student participants will focus on therapeutic asset identification, evaluation, and strategic assessment, producing recommendations that may advance partnership discussions, licensing opportunities, or potential acquisition.
"The Fowler College of Business has a long tradition of preparing students to solve complex business challenges through hands-on learning and industry engagement," said Greg Tanneberger, J.D., Head of Corporate & Professional Education and Senior Program Administrator at SDSU Fowler College of Business. "Through the ai² Futures Lab™, our students will work on strategic opportunities at the intersection of business, innovation, and life sciences while contributing meaningful insights to asset evaluation and decision-making."
"The ai² Futures Lab™ was created to provide Lōkahi with a scalable, capital-efficient process for identifying and evaluating overlooked or strategically deprioritized therapeutic assets," said Brian Peters, Senior Vice President, ai² Division, Lōkahi Therapeutics™. "In our first year, participating teams identified more than 45 potential assets, with several advancing into active pipeline discussions. That represents encouraging early validation of the model and its ability to generate actionable opportunities for Lōkahi."
Adding SDSU further expands Lōkahi’s ai² Futures Lab™ network. Participating institutions may later expand into specialized business, clinical, technology, legal, or capital-focused tracks that support Lōkahi’s Discover, Advance, Monetize framework.
