Engineering Cells: Expensive and Slow

The DBTL cycle hasn't changed in decades — hundreds of iterations, 5-10% hit rates, and lab results that don't predict production scale.

0 years

Development time today

From idea to production, a single molecule takes 3-10 years

$0M

Cost per molecule

R&D costs $10-100M per molecule with trial-and-error approaches

0%

Success rate

Only 5-10% of experiments produce commercially viable results

The Solution

AI That Predicts Before You Experiment

Our foundation models learn from biological data to predict outcomes, design optimal sequences, and navigate vast design spaces — reducing time and cost by orders of magnitude.

100x Faster

Virtual cells compress DBTL cycles from months to days with in silico prediction

10x Cost Reduction

Replace expensive trial-and-error with data-driven model predictions

Higher Success

Physics-grounded predictions ensure lab-to-production alignment

Science-Backed

Models respect thermodynamic constraints — interpretable AI you can trust

Four Models, One Virtual Cell

Together, our foundation models form a virtual cell — a multi-scale, predictive model of biological behavior that accelerates the entire DBTL cycle.
