Cradle

Protein engineering software is a narrow field, and Cradle is an AI protein engineering platform built for biologists who want to design and optimize proteins in fewer lab rounds.

Cradle uses prediction algorithms and AI design suggestions to propose improved protein candidates, and the work is organized around rounds, so teams can track the status of each one and explore reports as results come in.

What sets Cradle apart is co-optimization.

Instead of tuning one trait at a time, you can work on several properties together, such as activity, binding and stability, which matters because improving one often costs another.

The applications named for the platform cover therapeutics, agricultural solutions and food ingredients.

It is built for research teams with a protein to improve, not at general users, and it sits closer to a research tool than a creative design product despite its category label.
