Information, matter and energy compose the universe we live in. Imagine if you knew the grammar to transform them all at once, what would you do?
Such power is already written in our DNA, literally...
Biology is probably the only thing with such versatility and efficacy to reform reality.
Therefore, Ailurus' mission is to ensure this general purpose "technology" - by which we mean an approach to creating (almost) any conceivable system with living things - can be mastered by human beings, and benefits our planet.
To fulfill our mission, we need a unified approach to program biology, which is equivalent to design a general-purpose computer, coding A/T/G/C instead of 0/1. Instead of simulating biology on semiconductors, we believe a better solution is to have those operations and computations running on the biological materials and processes themselves. It means the next superpower computer should be a "biocomputer".
To start with, we design special-purpose systems as microcontrollers of cells, turning these cells into micron-scale laboratory that operates research and production tasks used to be handled by human and machines. With language AI as a copilot, we could accelerate biology as fast as the IT industry today, using these micro-biocomputers. We believe that in this way, the enormous amount of knowledge we generate for our users and ourselves, will eventually lead us to general biocomputing.
In summary, we work on building the architecture and language to program biology, starting from biological programming solutions that transform life science workflows. Next, we will build a single system that runs all the programs, i.e. a "Biocomputer".
