Cradle Bio

What is Cradle Bio?

Cradle Bio is an AI tool that helps biologists design better proteins. It uses advanced prediction algorithms and AI-driven recommendations to visualize, analyze, and predict potential protein candidates. The tool can handle several properties and optimization tasks at once, and it learns from your experiments to suggest better variants over time, reducing the time it takes to bring a product to market. Cradle keeps your data private and secure, and you retain full ownership of your intellectual property.

Who created Cradle Bio?

Cradle was founded by Sylvain Gariel, who is currently the Chief Operating Officer (COO) at DNA Script. The team combines expertise from biology, design, engineering, and machine learning, with members who have worked at Google, DeepMind, and Uber. Cradle has offices in Zurich, Switzerland, and Amsterdam, Netherlands, and the team works at the intersection of machine learning and biology.

Who is Cradle Bio for?

• Biologists

How to use Cradle Bio?

1. Sign up and log in to Cradle’s platform.
2. Explore the features: prediction algorithms, AI design suggestions, and tools to visualize, analyze, and predict candidates in one place.
3. Design proteins by entering your sequences and reviewing the AI-generated design suggestions.
4. Iterate and improve: Cradle learns from every experiment you run, offering better variants and speeding up the design process.
5. Handle multiple properties: unlike older methods, Cradle manages several properties and optimization tasks in a single pass.
6. Train the model with results from your lab experiments so candidates improve with each testing round.

Using Cradle, you can design better proteins, improve their thermostability, predict their structures, and reach your goals in about half the time — with your sequences and data kept private and secure.
