Data is the difference between an idea and invention

Massive Throughput

10,000x more data per dollar than industry standards

Diverse Chemistries

Discover protein machines across a broadened search space

Real World Context

Optimize for manufacturability and industrial scale

Enabling the engineering of protein interactions and enzymes: testing, evolving, and learning with millions of variants

The Universe of New Protein Machines

Faster enzyme
Selective molecular binder
More stable protein
Novel reaction chemistry
Manufacturable
We asked thousands of biologists at the world’s largest synthetic biology conference to think of their dream protein
Handwritten protein engineering ideas cycling one at a time, such as "Generate peptide library," "Clotting factors," "Perchlorate degradation (Mars!)" and "Improve DNA editing enzymes"
What would you build?

Your dream protein is out there
