Cradle
AI platform for engineering better proteins faster
Cradle is an AI-assisted protein engineering platform for biopharma and industrial biotechnology teams. It uses experimental data to generate protein candidates, optimize multiple properties, and support iterative lab-design workflows while keeping customer sequence data and trained models isolated.

The decision
Should Cradle make your shortlist?
Start with the job, the team, and the constraints. Product fit becomes much clearer when those three line up.
Practical use cases
Jobs it can take on
- Generate protein candidates from experimental data
- Co-optimize protein activity, binding, stability, and expression
- Run iterative protein-design and laboratory-validation cycles
Before you choose
Know the tradeoffs
- Cradle is licensed annually for active research projects or enterprise deployment.
- Its academic program has limited availability and requires an application.
Inside the product
What you can actually do with it.
The core product capabilities, grouped around the work they enable.
Data-guided protein design
Cradle uses experimental data and protein context to generate candidate sequences for a project.
Multi-property optimization
The platform can optimize several measurable properties, including activity, binding, stability, and expression, in parallel.
Private project models
Customer data is used only to train models for that customer's protein-engineering projects and remains isolated from other customers.
Typical workflow
Teams upload wet-lab data or define project goals and assays. Cradle analyzes the data, generates protein variants, and learns from subsequent experimental results to support the next design round.
