Technology

The first Protein Function Model that discovers novel proteins with novel functions.

Trained on in-house data generated by running millions of micro-scale experiments in our robotic high-throughput screening lab, the Protein Function Model makes protein function searchable, predictable, and scalable. Automated experimentation and fast iteration validate performance, advancing novel proteins from discovery to prototype to production.
