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
- Set up assays and objectives: Tell Cradle what you plan to measure and where those measurements should go for your project.
- Generate sequences: Cradle designs improved sequences targeted to your objectives, with a forecast of expected performance per property.
- Test in lab: Validate variants in your lab; the model improves as new data is collected.
- 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)
