Planes do not fly like birds.
The proteins that matter this decade will not be the ones evolution handed us. They will be designed, as much for how they are made as for what they do.
The manufacturability gap
In the last five years, protein design has exploded. AlphaFold, ProteinMPNN, and the wave of tools behind them let designers generate proteins faster than anyone can reliably make them. Manufacturing has not kept up.
The gap between what can be designed and what can be produced at useful quantity and predictable economics is now the bottleneck on every product a designed protein could be.
What we are building toward
A platform that serves every stage of a designed protein's life.
Design tools that make manufacturability a first-class concern from the first sequence. Prototyping that delivers usable protein in weeks. Scaled production licensed to operators who will manufacture the winners.
