01

Novel chemistry

Precise control over selectivity unlocks synthesis routes conventional chemistry can't reach.

02

Sustainable by design

Less energy, less waste, less reliance on fossil feedstocks.

03

Natural everyday ingredients

Direct pathways from renewable, upcycled feedstocks to everyday cosmetics, personal care, and food products.

Proprietary Data Meets AI

Proprietary datasets, validated in our lab

Unique enzyme datasets power our ML models, capturing not only novel enzyme functions, substrates, and transformations, but also the physical realities of the chemistry and reaction conditions through rich metadata. This continuous data stream creates an active learning loop, enabling our models to uncover the true drivers of enzyme specificity and performance.

Active learning loop

Functional experiments

Activity, selectivity, properties, conditions & promiscuity.

Functional data

Structured ground truth, rich with metadata.

Models

Predictive and generative, steered to purpose.

Designed enzymes

New chemistry and performance — tested in the wetlab.

Better predictions

For novel enzyme sequences, function & properties.

Smarter generative models

Designing enzymes far beyond what exists in nature.

Faster discovery cycles

Reducing the time and capital of new discovery.
