Cradle — Design Better Proteins

Cradle is an AI-assisted protein engineering platform designed to make protein design faster and more productive. By combining machine learning with a streamlined workflow, Cradle lets you design improved variants of your target protein sequence with just a few clicks.


What Cradle does

  • Generates improved protein variants guided by your defined objectives and assay measurements
  • Multi-property optimization: optimize multiple attributes (e.g., activity, thermostability, solubility, expression) in a single round
  • Predicts performance scores for generated sequences, helping you prioritize experiments
  • Allows you to bring in lab data or start from a single starting sequence
  • Private by design: data remains under your control and is not used to train models for others
  • Bank-grade security and an annual flat-fee ownership model (no royalties)

How Cradle works

  1. Set up assays and objectives: Tell Cradle what you plan to measure and where those measurements should go for your project.
  2. Generate sequences: Cradle designs improved sequences targeted to your objectives, with a forecast of expected performance per property.
  3. Test in lab: Validate variants in your lab; the model improves as new data is collected.
  4. Import lab results: Feed results back into Cradle to refine private models and inform next rounds.

Cradle emphasizes privacy and IP ownership: your sequences and experimental data stay private, under your control, and are not used to train models for other users.


Why Cradle helps

  • Accelerates time-to-market by learning from every experimental round
  • Enables simultaneous optimization of multiple properties
  • Keeps data private and secure with bank-grade security
  • Provides owned IP with a straightforward annual fee (no royalties)

Getting started

  • Set up assays and objectives for your project
  • Generate sequences with Cradle’s AI designer aligned to your objectives
  • Test in the lab and import results to continuously improve the model
  • Maintain control over your data and IP throughout the process
