Cradle

Design better proteins

Cradle helps biologists design improved proteins in record time using powerful prediction algorithms and AI design suggestions.

Cradle aims to make programming biology easy by providing biologists the tools to discover, design and optimise enzymes and cell-factories. We are bridge builders who bring together the best of machine learning, synthetic biology, developer tools, and user experience design. Our mission is to enable a world where most of the products around us can be easily made and degraded biologically using a cell-factory instead of (petro-)chemicals, plants or animal agriculture.
