Engineering biology the way we engineer software.
Powered by Aether’s Protein Function Model, our discovery platform makes the design, testing, and scaling of new protein functions predictable and repeatable for high-impact industrial applications such as manufacturing advanced materials and processing critical minerals.
The Challenge
Proteins found in nature are incredible, but evolution optimizes for survival, not industrial performance. As a result, traditional protein discovery and engineering takes years, yields limited functional improvements, and cannot reliably create proteins for entirely new reactions or industrial environments.
The Aether Architecture
To solve this challenge, Aether has built a platform where:
Predictive modeling is paired with automated experimentation and a real-time optimization loop.
Chemistry and biology are searchable, protein performance is predictable.
Innovation cycles operate on engineering timelines.
Industrial Outcomes
With this platform, we can design proteins that can:
Synthesize polymers that enable cost-effective, field-ready additive manufacturing.
Selectively capture minerals at low concentrations from domestic sources.
Reduce discovery cycles from years to months, accelerating chemical innovation.
With this platform, we can design proteins that can:
01. Synthesize polymers that enable fast, field-ready additive manufacturing
02. Selectively capture minerals at low concentrations
03. Reduce discovery cycles from years to months, accelerating chemical innovation
