Research at Ailurus

Rethink the Impossible.

We are turning biology from a game of chance into a discipline of engineering, unleashing immense potential — from curing disease to biological computation.

Our research pillars

Building the living intelligence.

Wetware
Creating the living "Hardware".

We engineer novel cellular structures using self-assembly principles. Our flagship breakthrough, Synthetic Organelles, allows us to compartmentalize reactions inside prokaryotes, mimicking complex eukaryotic functions.

Architecture
Defining the 'Software' of life.

We develop the compilers and syntax for biological code. By defining the rules of genetic logic, we create programmable genetic circuits that perform reliably across diverse applications.

Workflows
Pioneering AI-native discovery

We are closing the loop between silicon and carbon. Rather than merely applying AI to existing workflows, we focus on workflows where AI and biological programs collaborate organically, enabling the exploration of infinite design spaces.
