Ailurus pioneers biological programs, the 'software' of the living, to streamline and automate sciences. Our mission is to make biology the truly general-purpose technology, as easy to program and accessible as modern computers.
We are driven by a vision of a future where engineering the physical world becomes as intuitive as prompting the digital world.
Biology is the key to this future; it is the only platform with the innate ability to program information, matter, and energy, which compose the universe we live in, all at once.
Our mission is to place this "technology of everything" in human hands, liberating humanity from labors, and unleashing an era of creativity and discovery.
To fulfill our mission, we will need a unified architecture and language to program biology ---- essentially, we are building the "computer science" of biology.
Our journey begins by programming biology into versatile platforms and foundational tools that empower biologists and accelerate discovery.
This is achieved by building biological programs: genetic instructions that operate within living systems, much like living software. These programs transform cells into a microscopic workforce to streamline complex processes, paving the way for truly general-purpose in vivo computing and automation.
We are creating radical technologies to solve today's most impactful challenges. Our work is focused on three key areas:
Experience an unprecedented scale in your research through miniaturization, parallelism, and multiplexing.
By programming thousands to trillions of cells into microscopic laboratories, we enable a multitude of diverse tests. This accelerates wet-lab validation and data generation by orders of magnitude, surpassing traditional methods and delivering actionable insights with greater speed.
Our proprietary workflow has already generated millions of wet-lab data points across over 100 custom projects, exceeding conventional limits, and we are eager to extend this technology to a broader audience.
