We are innovating in the protein design field. Our business activity will start in december 2024.
By combining physics, robotics-inspired algorithms, deep/machine learning and automated reasoning, we design improved proteins from first principles and provide customers with optimized molecules for all type of applications.
Our pure in silico design processes avoid most of the expensive and time consuming experimental essays. Only carefully selected designs need to be tested.
Our AI-powered design method is able to confer new, desirable properties, providing sequences that evolution has not been able to explore.
With its extreme flexibility, our design engine can offer customized solutions that match your needs: specificity, stability, sequence composition, activity,...
Every design problem is different. We offer a variety of services, adapted to a range of different requirements, from the simplest to the most challenging ones.
A team of dedicated experienced professionals.
