Our technology

AI-driven workflow for amyloid drug discovery

We combine generative AI, classical machine learning, physics-based modeling and targeted experimental validation to design binders, test them quickly and advance the best hits against challenging protein targets.

The challenge

Two bottlenecks we set out to fix.

Fixing the biology bottleneck

Amyloid drug discovery has been held back by challenging targets. We re-engineer these amyloids for high-throughput binder discovery.

Fixing the chemistry bottleneck

Our proprietary AI models flag hits that are non-specific before they reach the bench. Removing high-liability binders early reduces costly late-stage failures and shortens development timelines.

AI-driven workflow

The only input is the drug target. From there we find, predict, produce and test binders in short cycles that pair generative AI with an accelerated lab.

Generative AI
Accelerated lab
Input
Drug target

A disease-relevant protein or amyloid assembly.

01
Find

Map the binding surfaces worth targeting.

02
Predict

Design binder candidates and score them in silico.

03
Produce

Make the top-ranked binders in our lab.

04
Test

Measure binding, specificity and function.

Engineering target and binder

Precise protein assemblies for precision therapeutics.

We engineer precise protein assemblies to discover precision therapeutics at scale. We focus on binding surfaces that are difficult to access with standard in vitro libraries or in vivo approaches.

01

Proprietary libraries

Amyloid-focused binder libraries tuned to diverse fibril architectures, for rapid hit discovery across neurodegenerative and systemic targets.

02

Amyloid-tailored validation

We test hits against disease-relevant fibril states and select for polymorph specificity and functional activity, not pan-amyloid binding.

03

Fast iteration cycles

Short design, build and test loops generate more developable hits and filter out liabilities early.
