Cradle's protein design platform, Apple's brain-reading AirPods patent, Stanford-made skin probiotics to treat cancer
Cradle
Cradle is a techbio using LLMs to reduce the cost and time, not only of predicting protein structure, but also of designing proteins with specific properties such as activity, codon usage, affinity, specificity, and penetration. For example, they’ve made T7 RNA polymerases that are 4.5º C more thermostable and can thus synthesize longer RNA chains for therapeautics — like those discussed last week!
If you’re an academic, you can use Cradle for free while customers from industry like Johnson & Johnson Innovation, Novozymes, and Twist Bioscience pay for every molecule they’re engineering. Cradle doesn’t take any IP and offers highest security of trade secrets, they just feed experimental data from their users back to their models to improve data efficiency and hallucinations.
